Feedback from Students

"The training overall was well structured with lots of information to take on board. I found talking through copyright, intellectual property, international coproductions, and negotiating contracts helpful as I feel like I lacked knowledge in these areas before this course. "

"I really enjoyed the face to face teaching that All Spring Media put together for the Moving up to 2nd AD skills bootcamp. We had real experts come and talk to us and it was great to have such an open forum to ask questions. I’m hoping I can use the new knowledge and skills to make a move in feature films. "

I enjoyed learning more about the role of Production Manager and how it fits within the production ecosystem and gaining an insight into child licensing.
