Current Sports Production Diploma student Flynn Hamilton summarises his experience at NFTS – “I have absolutely loved being at the National Film & Television School – the atmosphere at the School is wonderful and being around so many likeminded and incredibly talented people has been so enjoyable. The opportunities you get through the National Film & Television School are exclusive to the National Film & Television School, which has so many incredible links to industry and the amount you’ll learn just by being at the School is enormous. There’s not many places where you’ll be sat in a Q+A with Denis Villeneuve in the morning and then filming a rugby match in the afternoon!”
