The main thing was making links with my tutors. I was already working as an assistant stage manager prior to JMC, so the course also solidified and developed my skills.

JMC taught us how to create pitch decks and get funding, to budget and distribute. Since JMC I’ve produced and directed 4 films and a few of them have gone onto win at international film festivals. In a small industry, having the loyalty from the people that you studied with (at JMC) and bringing them along on professional projects is so rewarding.

I never thought I’d ever make a career from games. What I learnt at JMC was the technical side of things: 3D modelling, texturing, and how to assemble an environment. But I also learnt the soft skills—how to collaborate in a team, how to take an idea and develop it.
