Cinemagic Career Crafts programme
Date Posted: July 22, 2021
Many well-known faces from the world of TV and film will over the next couple of weeks, host masterclasses as part of Cinemagic’s Career Crafts programme.
Running as part of the acclaimed film and television festival for young people, Career Crafts is a series of masterclasses/Q&A sessions on many aspects of the film and television industry. They are designed to introduce young people (aged 18-25) to the many different fields, roles and jobs in film and television and gain insight from industry leaders while meeting other new entrants and develop knowledge and key skills.
This year they will include sessions on acting for film and TV, directing, sports presenting, TV & radio presenting and writing for screen. Due to Covid-19, these sessions will take place online.
The guest hosts said:
