“
I have a passion for film and television because they are such incredible mediums for creative storytelling.
You can move people, change minds and explore new universes in a way that can be totally absorbing to your audience. I chose Flinders because I was seeking a combination of both hands-on practical production as well as theory and analysis, plus they have a reputation for producing great graduates. I’m so glad I did because I’ve had really great lectures who have real experience in the industry and a commitment to adapting and updating based on current trends and technology.
