Participating in the M.Phil. in Film Studies: Screenwriting at Trinity was so valuable in helping me find my voice as a writer. The program offered me the opportunity to learn from top notch storytellers, broaden my horizons both technically and theoretically, and create lasting bonds with my fellow classmates — known now as my favourite collaborators.

The M.Phil. in Film Studies: Screenwriting at Trinity opened so many doors for me. Not only did it provide the framework I needed to begin writing scripts and developing a varied portfolio, but it also acted as a gateway into my working full-time in TV/Film production and created personal and creative bonds that have lasted far beyond the course.
