Consisting of weekend and holiday-time workshops, the Gillian Dickinson Residential Film Camp and a large-scale production project, it will equip you with the skills and experiences to write, shoot, edit and produce your own films, whatever the genre.
“If you are serious about making films, I reckon Northern Stars is one of the best things you can do. The knowledge and contacts you will make are invaluable and you will have a showcase of films way ahead of most people your age.” {Nancy Eadington. Scriptwriter and cinematographer on Director’s Cut}
