Find out more about careers behind the camera! Could you be part of the next generation of talent in Film, TV or Games?

 

To celebrate the release of Fast and Furious 9, Access NFTS is running a series of events looking at some of the essential careers behind the success of this popular movie franchise. Join us to find out more about these careers, including hints and tips for success, pathways into the field and an insight into a typical day (if there is such a thing). We will be talking to experts with years of experience in the industry as well as students currently preparing for their future career. We are also thrilled to have guests who were involved in the film talking to us about their experiences. These sessions are for you to discover new career pathways and help you see the broad range of careers behind the camera in the Film, TV and Games Industry.

 

The sessions are for anyone interested, aspiring or already involved in this industry. They are for you so it is your opportunity to ask questions and find out if this could be the future for you.  

 

To sign up simply click here and complete the form via the link below and select the session(s) you would like to attend. All sessions will be on Zoom and will be recorded for future use by the NFTS. You must be over 16 to attend the live sessions. Recordings may be made available to schools in due course. Please note that while these sessions will discuss NFTS courses they are not specifically about them. We will give all details regarding open days and finding further information about our courses at the end of each session.

 

Confirmation emails including zoom links will be sent out 24 hours before each event.

Booking System Update

 Hi everyone,

After half term, the booking system will be changing. To streamline the process, there will now be two slots for picking up and returning kit, one at 9am, and one at 12:30pm. 

This will be the only time you can collect and return equipment, unless you are in a lesson that requires it. 

The booking system will update on Friday morning to reflect this change. Any pre-existing bookings will be honoured. 

As ever, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email sgamble@longroad.ac.uk or message Sam Gamble on Teams. 

Thanks,

Sam

Loans Counter Shut Thursday
