“My studies at Îá°®³Ô¹Ï really helped me be pro-active, the biggest thing it taught me was the beauty in collaboration. It enabled me to explore my creativity and gave me stepping stones into the industry. Ìý
Ìý“I am absolutely over the moon that my most recent film The Welshman has wonÌý
a BAFTA! Being at University also taught me how to be resourceful - I made The Welshman with zero budget and that is definitely a skill I mastered with my peers at Bangor.“

“I enjoyed Creative Studies because it gave me the opportunity to try out a few different elements that all related to my interest in media. I learnt a lot about PR and this really helped us promote The Welshman on social media, with over 25,000 views in 2 days, the film trailer almost went viral!â€Ìý
