The @NFTSFilmTV and @PrimeVideo offer a 12 month course to 6 emerging #directors from underrepresented backgrounds to help take their career to the next level. Each director receives mentoring & support to make a high end short.

Bonus tweet - the @NFTSFilmTV & @FilmHubNorth also teamed up to offer a Directors Training Scheme for #Directors based in the North. Course is totally free & whilst this is the first year it's run, hopefully it'll become an annual fixture.
