UK VS CANADA: TORONTO FILM SCHOOL

Image
Words:  Tomo kembery Over the past 6 months, I’ve been covering some pretty cool short courses in the UK at some of the best film schools our great country has to offer. Although, I feel that the UK lacks in modern film making standards, as well as providing its students with industry knowledge and how to progress your career further. Most of the courses offered in the UK tend to be a case of “stick and camera in your hand, do some editing and here’s a film” Things like VFX, green screen and top end equipment are all missing from today’s UK film educations, and once you have finished a course there is no support on where to go next. The UK does not have that big of a film industry, in fact it’s so small that it’s very difficult to get into; let along make any money consistently and build your career.  With our country’s film industry being so tiny, it’s natural to move into TV in the UK and most likely end up working for the BBC (or another large channel) that contr...

WORDS:  Tomo Kembery Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist  Meghan Trainor  returns with her brand new single “ No Excuses ,” available worldwide now!  Get it  HERE It’s the first glimpse of what’s in store from her third full-length offering and one of the year’s most anticipated blockbuster releases—coming soon.  Trainor wrote ‘NO EXCUSES’ with songwriter JKash and Andrew Wells. The song is produced by Andrew Wells with additional production by the artist herself.
