Seven students from ASC were among the twenty-two staff and students who travelled to Galway for the 29th Celtic Media Festival. The feedback from all delegates was that the festival was a resounding success and inspirational to those looking to work in the film and televsion industry.
Ashley Whitelaw from HDCreative Industries: Television said
"I felt that the interaction with the professionls and the time that they took to asnwer questions that we had to ask them was extremely beneficial"
Students attended a range of programmed events and were rewarded with some extremely entertaining and engaging speakers from around the globe.
AW continued "One of the better points of the festival for myself was the way that some of the speakers actually got the audience involved and captivatied in their talks. I particualry enjoyed that talk given to us on Script writing and the development of characters as this was relevant to me at this particular time."
In retrospect, it was amazing to think that you were involved in an animated discussion with Paul Watson, one of the UK's prestigious documentary film makers and two days later turning on the telly to see him winning a special BAFTA award.
The Gala Evening also presented students and staff with the unique opportunity to mingle with everyone present and talk a little shop.
Finally, if the buzz on the return journey was any indication of how successful this event was I predict that CCI students will be queuing up early to get the opportunity to attend the 30th CMF in Wales in 2009.
