'I loved my time studying for the BA in Film and Screen Media in UCC. The course gave me the core knowledge of both the practical and theoretical elements which are essential in any career path taken in the industry. This, along with having lecturers who are genuinely excited and passionate about the subject made it easy to learn and made it a fulfilling course to take.

Having this degree was certainly a strong factor in helping me gain my current employment as a production assistant.'

 

The job is as an office-based production assistant so it involves pushing scripts through each stage from development all the way to distribution. It also allows me to travel to film festivals like Berlinale last month and hopefully to Cannes in May, so that helps keep the job exciting!
