We Meet Top Factual Film Makers and Film School Operators Cambridge TV

The ABC is working on a future film project. This week we visited Cambridge TV  a leading production company based in Cambridge, UK. The Company produces intelligent films, involving content using their strong relationships with leaders in science and business. Their programmes are aimed at the national broadcasters, as well as local television and online video channels

Cambridge TV also runs a film school for those interested in working in the film industry or who just want to learn a new skill.

The TV School offers a totally unique path into the TV and film industries. The team supply training and support through multiple courses to cover every aspect of factual TV production.

Carl and Bob have worked with many people starting their careers in either a single technical skill or all areas of production and they believe that today’s TV and online filmmaking careers require storytellers who are experienced and skilled in the main specific job roles of production.

Participants make programmes for TV and online broadcast, to industry standards, coached by working TV professionals. They have the chance to develop TV production skills to a very high level, develop a network of peers and professional mentors, and take away a large portfolio of broadcast work to show their next employer.
