“I wanted to be inspired by other
passionate filmmakers.”
The application process was simple; I had a chat with
the key lecturer and submitted an entry based on my
prior learning credits.
The staff are friendly and approachable, and as a
study environment, ECU is the kind of place you feel
comfortable in. It’s a good place to find collaborators
for various projects. I find surrounding yourself with
like-minded people is a great way to develop. We share
our industry connections and help each other find
relevant work. I would say the proudest moment of my
studies was when a film I was involved with landed two
West Australian Screen Award nominations. ECU had
already seen the potential in the film and paid the
entry fee.
