The program has been so helpful in improving my confidence and awareness of how I should go on about life and my challenges. It’s been a great opportunity to learn from other mentees too.

Miguel García Adab
I was able to make contacts and meet peers who were also creative and ambitious. It was great being able to surround myself with people on a similar journey to me and to be supported by people already established in their industries.

Toni-Ann Murphy
The whole programme was fantastic. I made some great connections and develop a whole set of skills that would have taken years otherwise, if they'd ever happened at all!

Jack Watson
Before the programme, I wanted guidance on how to become a Director in the film industry. Leaving the programme not only have I achieved that by making a Short Film, but I also come away with valuable relationships & peers plus a new Director title.

Kamal Lashley
I finally got my confidence needed to pursue my dreams, and met someone who truly believes in me.
