Testimonials
Incredibly valuable course! I think despite it being at first glance oriented towards film and digital - a lot of these lessons can be applied across all production jobs and it's a domain where I've struggled to gain this type of knowledge in the past. — Lucy Patton, senior producer at Random Studio
It’s a fantastic tool which is very complete, enriching and which allows you to have a very clear idea of the overall process. I also really appreciate that there are video explanations and a detailed reminder of all the fundamentals you need to have/know. It’s a real added value to have this when starting to work with an agency or a client. — Pauline Grasset, freelance producer at Immersive Garden
