Alumni.

Lewis is a Film Production Graduate.


“The placements got us out and into the industry. I came out of the course with
a really strong network of contacts. I love working with the actors and crew,
bringing the script off the page onto the screen.”
Lewis Arnold has directed several short films and episodes for TV shows
like Misfits, Humans and Broadchurch.
“The short film we made in our final year, Long-Standing, was a real labor of
love. We won the BUFVC’s Learning on Screen Awards ‘Student Prize’ for it. I
did work experience for BAFTA winning director, Michael Baig-Clifford. We
got funding through the UKFC and Screen WM to make short films, Spirited
and Stained, which both won awards as well.”
