Benjamin's BA Film and TV Experience

What was your favourite thing about Swansea campus?

Dynevor was in the heart of Swansea, letting us explore storytelling through various locations that were well within walking distance of the campus. 

Why did you choose UWTSD?

I chose UWTSD because my interview felt more personal.

What did you enjoy outside your studies?

Outside my studies I spent time exploring the Gower coastline for more filming locations.

What are you doing now, how did you get to where you are and how has your course helped you in your career?

I am currently a Director of Photography in the Film and TV industry, shooting short films and commercial content in my free time. My course was the springboard into the Welsh industry, helping me to establish myself and to grow my network from the off.

What was your favourite thing about your course?

The department staff were incredibly supportive throughout.

Would you recommend UWTSD and why?

I think the course offers a unique approach to the material, something more practically minded students may appreciate.
