perseverance pays off. How Shorts<br />

become the calling card to make<br />

feature films. Everything is designed to<br />

challenge and inspire and I came away<br />

remembering long forgotten skills. Other<br />

mentors included Karol Griffiths and<br />

Lucy V Hay and the support team are<br />

brilliant: Judy, Jenn, Vicky, Emma - their<br />

warmth creates complete trust.<br />

If you want to be stretched and aim<br />

higher than you thought possible, then<br />

Talent Campus is a great place to hang<br />

out with fellow writers, directors and<br />

actors. It unleashes your creativity by<br />

taming your fears. Its intention is to<br />

make us industry ready. You leave Talent<br />

Campus with a toolbox of skills, great<br />

ideas and confidence, and best of all,<br />

a bunch of new writing mates cheering<br />

you on.<br />

(Thirty) Five go off to Campus...<br />

Talent Campus was astonishing, scary,<br />

transformative, fear-banishing and<br />

hugely exhilarating! Also lots of fun,<br />

yet challenging en-route. I'm amazed<br />

how resistant I was to some things, and<br />

how freeing it is, to stop being afraid<br />

of them. Highlights? I was first up for<br />

the hottest Firewalk; and I NEVER go<br />

first. That was amazing; Talent Campus<br />

has changed me and that’s good. It's<br />

reminded me of who I am, and pushed<br />

me to be more of who I can be!<br />

What to do now? Write like a monster;<br />

pitch like a Boss!<br />
