New Academy to Develop Creative Excellence in Film & Television

The new Academy of Film and Television Training launches this month and is running a unique series of comprehensive training courses, across a range of film and TV disciplines.

Based at Shepperton Studios, the heartland of the British film industry and London, Soho, the new Academy will focus on the technical and practical skills that film and programme makers need to get ahead.

CEO, Lee ‘Wozy’ Warren brings to the new venture his own considerable experience in the industry and his ability to pull in the best trainers in the business: “This is an exciting venture, not just for us at the Academy, but for our students too. Clients range from newcomers looking for their first big break to seasoned veterans wanting to acquire new skills and maybe branch out into new fields. These courses are about working at the industry’s ‘coalface’!”

To host the courses, the Academy is bringing in award-winning professionals including some BAFTA winners, with proven track records to pass on their knowledge and skills, and to put their students in the best possible position to land jobs in the industry, with the emphasis on ground-breaking technology.

Subjects and courses scheduled for April and May include: 3D Stereoscopic filming and post-production; Sound recording; Mixing and ADR (advanced digital recording); Starting a career as a commercials director; Producing/directing your own independent feature film; How to develop, finance, market and sell an independent film; How to self distribute an indie feature based on the successes of BAFTA winning director, Stuart Urban.

The Academy also offers students a loyalty programme that builds discounts for returning students, and freephone booking and support as well as providing 30-day support on all courses.
