Welcome to our latest NFTS story, a series of blogs featuring our alumni talking about where they were before they came to the School and where they are now (follow the series by using the #NFTSStories hashtag across Twitter and Instagram). Zsófi Szemerédy graduated from the NFTS Marketing Distribution Sales and Exhibition MA in 2019 and has already secured a job at post-production talent agency, Blueberry as Marketing and PR Executive.

More congratulations are in store for NFTS Directing and Producing Science and Natural History MA graduate, Matt Senior whose graduation film, Now Or Never, which highlights the plight of the rare Tapanuli orangutan has won a prestigious rhino trophy for ‘Best Documentary’ at this year’s British Documentary Film Festival’ which took place in May in Leicester Square.

Everyone at NFTS was thrilled to welcome Wallace & Gromit creator and multi-Oscar® winner, Nick Park back to the School last night to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the creation of his much loved characters, which were born right here at the NFTS.

One of the first projects the NFTS Directing and Producing Science and Natural History MA students get their teeth into is a series of filmed science based interviews. Splitting into three teams, the students chose to film interviews on a range of subjects including the science of sleep, the intelligence of amoeba and fast radio bursts, a new phenomenon in astrophysics.
