My experience at the Met was very positive. You won't find an institution that feels as personal as the Met. Very quickly you learn to know everyone and it's all quite liberal and flexible, which I think is very important when studying filmmaking. For me - it was the right place at the right time.

It's been a great 2 years, and I've gone striaight into a job. Never thought that would happen when I started! Looking back, I think the best thing about the programme is that it mirrors real life, you get out what you put in. I'm surprised how much I know now. The students who didn't like it were the people who didn't really throw themselves into every film, every project. But mostly, you just get to do things you'd never get to do outside of here - be involved in making a feature film, a multicamera production, and lots of films and stuff. I had great tutors - some of them are really challenging, some pretty gentle, but they all seem to want the students to succeed as much as we do, and because they work in the industry, they really know their stuff. I'm glad I went there.
