LFA Filmmaking Diploma graduate accepted on MA in Film & TV Directing
8.12.2010
Congratulations to our recent Filmmaking Diploma graduate, Christaan Neu, who was accepted on the MA in Film & TV Directing. Christaan was one of the youngest students who graduated in October 2010. We are very proud of him and wish him all the best. "Having completed the Filmmaking Diploma at the London Film Academy I had so much "luggage" to go and apply at the Westminster University for the MA in Film & TV directing. As it is a really intensive one-year course, they only select 12 of the strongest applicants. I presented my graduation film, ‘Heartless’, I made at the LFA, as part of the application package and a couple of weeks later I received the great news that I am accepted on the January 2011 intake. After one of the most amazing times of my life at LFA, I can now start on a new chapter at Westminster. Straight from my heart: I have got to thank everything to the London Film Academy!"
