An Editing Short Course Taught By The Best

In this two-day intensive course, acclaimed editors Nicolas Chaudeurge and Colin Goudie guide a small group of students through the specific, practical lessons they’ve learned working on Oscar-Winners such as Still Alice and major blockbusters like Star Wars: Rogue One. Chaudeurge and Goudie explain the creative and practical solutions they’ve found over the course of their careers working with luminaries like Andrea Arnold OBE and Gareth Edwards and will show the students how to apply these solutions to their own work.

This course is highly interactive, with lively discussions that continue into the evening as the tutor joins the students for a drink at the pub at the end of each day.
