National Film & Television School to Open in Leeds!

The North is booming for the film industry! With Channel 4 coming to Leeds, following their suit is the National Film & Television School! Director Jon Wardle said the school recognises “the direction of travel is more out of London production” requiring more skilled talent in the regions.

This is an incredible opportunity for all students wanting to expand their knowledge in the industry with out the need to move to London. Many future filmmakers, actors and professionals will benefit from this new opportunity. Read the article attached below to find out more 

Graduates from the school's original sites include Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins, Oscar-winning animator Nick Park (the creator of Wallace & Gromit), acclaimed directors Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here, We Need to Talk About Kevin) and David Yates (the Harry Potter series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and renowned documentary makers Kim Longinotto (Pink Saris, Gaea Girls) and Nick Broomfield (Whitney: Can I Be Me, Kurt and Courtney).
The move follows the successful opening of NFTS Scotland, with the Leeds site being part of the school’s continuing strategy to support the growth of production outside London.
