Twickenham Studios: Making history happen |
The Lincoln Film School, to launch in September, will be steered by an
expert advisory board including broadcaster Angela Rippon and Rick
Senat, former vice-president of Warner Brothers.
Led by Brian Hall, senior lecturer in film production at the
university, and Maria Walker, chief operating officer at Twickenham
Studios, it will offer an intensive 20-week practical film making
course.
Mr Hall said: "Twickenham Studios has an extraordinary heritage,
having played host to figures such as the Beatles and Richard
Attenborough, and I can’t think of anywhere more inspiring or better
equipped to teach the art of film making.
"TW1 offers a truly unique opportunity, as our students will not only
be immersed in a working studio environment which encompasses all
elements of the film production process but also have the opportunity to
mix with high-profile industry figures at work.
