Feature Filmmaking

Develop, produce, shoot and sell a microbudget feature film.

This is a unique course, for unique filmmakers. On MA Feature Filmmaking, you’ll push your experience and skills to the limit as part of a production team of a funded feature film in the action genre. You will work from start to finish as part of a team: pitching initial ideas, taking one of these to a full script, and working as a professional crew from principal photography through to post-production.

Developed in collaboration with UK production studio Action Xtreme, this course is designed to give you hands-on experience of the dynamic processes that go into feature film development on a microbudget, along with the essential contextual knowledge that supports emotive, intelligent filmmaking.

MA Feature Filmmaking contextualises industry challenges such as inclusivity and sustainability, giving a space for students to explore diverse ideas within an independent filmmaking culture that challenges mainstream narratives.

You will:
- Experience life on set as part of a fully funded microbudget feature film crew in the action genre, while developing your critical and contextual skills

- Develop your understanding of cinematic storytelling under the guidance of experienced filmmakers in a specialist facility with a history of feature film development and production

- Experiment: get the opportunity to build on your existing experience in a specific role within a film crew on a live project

- Enhance your knowledge and industry practice through research: from film development, crew formation, finance casting, pre-production, production and post, through to promoting and marketing feature-length work
