"I am immensely grateful for the valuable knowledge imparted by FA, which has enabled me to expand my skills and deepen my passion for cinematography. I wholeheartedly endorse it as a resource for anyone who shares a love for this art form. Being located in a country with limited opportunities in the industry, FA has played a pivotal role in nurturing my expertise and nurturing my admiration for this captivating field. Many thanks to FA for their outstanding contributions."

"The best injection I've given my career since I started. The Filmmakers Academy is actually run by Hollywood movie makers so you're getting real world lessons. The instructional videos are excellent, you won't get better with helpful downloads, I personally have found the podcasts very helpful which cover everything from lens choice to mental health to interview techniques. My Career had stalled until I signed up to the FA now it's moving again and I personally feel more empowered with the new knowledge I have gained. Wish something like this was around in the eighties."
John
