“It was a unique experience studying at Mindscreen — like a university class inside a high tech laboratory.

With the production house right next to the classrooms, it was a major plus point that whenever we came out of class, we’d see gaffers and grips loading or unloading the trucks. Sometimes a movie camera would be standing in the hallway and the camera assistants were more than happy to answer our questions. It was great to see and touch what we just heard in theory back in the class.”
