Write a short reflection on which team you see yourself fitting into best and why.

By applying for a place on Mighty Filmmakers’ Core Four Programme, you acknowledge that you are joining an alternative, skills-focused film education programme, not a traditional, tutor-led film school.

Drawing on our filmmaking and educational experience, we will provide guidance, feedback and support to help you develop your craft, build your portfolio and take steps towards establishing yourself as a filmmaker. Students are the driving force of the programme: you are expected to take initiative, contribute to the community and commit time and effort to learning and making films.

Your development depends on your active participation, supported by our experience and the shared commitment of your peers.
