Overview

The Creative Writing and Film Studies (Hons) degree at Liverpool John Moores University was the first time I had direct academic support towards becoming a filmmaker. Since graduating, I have received two short film commissions from The UK Film Council and I am currently co-writing a spec feature for North West Vision.

Career

Alongside the skills you will gain in writing to publishable standard and film production practice, the course equips you with an understanding of media processes that could be applied to careers in public relations, advertising, corporate communications, cultural journalism, research and the film and television industries.

Many of our graduates have gone on to work in the film and television industries as writers, directors, researchers and actors. Some have become independent filmmakers or work for companies such as the BBC, Channel 4, Envy Postproduction, FACT, Hurricane Pictures, Lime Pictures, Soapbox and Sony. Others have gone on to pursue postgraduate study at MA and PhD level or have become teachers, journalists and editors.
