Description
London Screen Academy (LSA), a state funded sixth form academy in Islington, co-founded by six of the most successful film producers (Working Title, Cowboy Films, HeyDay Films, EON Productions LTD), today launched a new campaign to show how it’s possible for anyone, regardless of ethnicity, class or background, to have a career within the creative industries.
For the second year running Stink Studios and Stink Films created a short film and campaign to demystify some roles that align with LSA’s curriculum, to train young people of all backgrounds in behind-the-camera skills in film and TV, and give an inside glimpse into LSA - their students, and how to build strong industry roots.
