University News Last updated 28 October 2015
We’re really excited about the new series of masterclasses we’re launching in late 2015. We’ve teamed up with some of the industry’s top experts to programme short courses on everything from social media to visual effects, feature film distribution to studio direction: Masterclasses by professionals for professionals.
Here, Commercial Manager Andrew Prendergast talks in more detail about what to expect:
We welcome industry professionals and beginners to this important series of events which will be hosted at Parkside Mediahouse’s state of the art studio facility in central Birmingham.
Our vision for this series is to promote knowledge amongst our peers, make new friends and expand all of our understanding of new and traditional methods in the film, TV and commercials industry. Each attendee will receive an official acknowledgement from Parkside Mediahouse and a discount on attendance to further classes in the series. We are excited to meet you and share this experience with you.“
