“The One Day Film School has been part of our programme at City of London since 2012. Each year, pupils have learned skills such as screenwriting and camerawork – then put their skills into action, making 10 Shot Films which are screened at the end of the day. More recently, they have also provided an online course and Film Schools for younger pupils. We work with the One Day Film School because they are an extremely well-run organisation, providing a professional and engaging experience. Their staff are superb, drawing on their expertise and knowledge to inspire participants. The benefits to the pupils are wide-ranging. Beyond learning the basics of filmmaking, they have to find ways to work collaboratively to produce the best possible outcome. It has been a pleasure to recommend the Young Film Academy to other schools in the confidence that they will do a brilliant job” – ANDREW MCBROOM, Deputy Head Co-curricular & Operations
