Amancay Tapia, HNC in Media Production
"I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker and wanted a practical course where we had the chance to get involved in all aspects of film production. During my course I have been editing, directing, writing, producing and even acting in my own films. My dream came true in 2008 when I directed what is now my first feature film “Campo de Batalla” (Battlefield) showing in Spain. I was selected by the Spanish film academy as one of twenty young Spanish filmmakers to watch, and I’m currently writing my next feature film which is set in London and Bolivia. It's been a long time since I left South Thames but that course was truly the beginning of what is my career today as a filmmaker."
