This programme is designed to give students a thorough practical and critical understanding of film making. The number of film projects undertaken over the year ensure that students have the opportunity to practice and develop a range of creative skills. This is an intensive course designed to engage and encourage emerging voices in film, and students are both urged and expected to take risks in their creative practice. Graduates of the MA in Film Production & Direction will be ready to begin film and television careers as creative professionals, having developed core technical and creative skills informed by a critical awareness of film history and analysis. Furthermore, as a student at the Huston School you will be part of a collaborative creative community, meeting with students across a range of MA programmes to develop your understanding of the history and craft of filmmaking.
