Film and Television Courses

"Since finishing my course at TAFE I've worked on The Great Gatsby, The Seventh Son, The Wolverine, I, Frankenstein, Shankar's I, Anzac Girls, and most recently X-Men: Days of Future Past. During my studies I was taught industry standard software and cutting-edge techniques, and acquired lots of hands on experience."
