An Editing Short Course Taught By The Best

In this two-day intensive course, acclaimed editors Mick Audsley and David Charap will guide a small group of students through the specific, practical lessons they’ve learned working on Oscar nominated films such as Twelve Monkeys and BAFTA nominated films such as Jawbone, as well as documentary films like The Possibilities are Endless and In Real Life. Audsley and Charap explain the creative and practical solutions they’ve found over the course of their careers, showing the students how to apply these lessons to their own work.

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