Local Mums recommend the best film academies in our area
“I highly recommend Young Film Academy to all Local Mums. YFA’s two-week filmmaking course taught our 16 year old daughter how to make a professional movie from start to finish. From working with actors and industry standard equipment to gleaning top tips from industry experts while making a bunch of new friends, it really was a remarkable two weeks. If your child is truly interested in TV or film, this is definitely the course for them!”
Mrs R. Senior, Local Mum
"I recommend Young Film Academy to Local Mums. My sons couldn't have had a happier time with Young Film Academy and now seem to know more about filmmaking than I do. This is quite awkward.”
Richard Curtis, 'Four Weddings', 'Notting Hill', 'Bridget Jones's Diary’
"I highly recommend Young Film Academy to Local Mums. Young Film Academy provided my sons with an excellent week of education and fun. Their short film really surprised us all with its excellent artistic and technical merit - their imaginations have been sparked.”
Richard Pierson (Editor, Quantum of Solace, The Bourne Supremacy)
