Dear Film & Digital Art Community,

How are you?

We are living in unprecedented and uncertain times and the entire cultural sector is being greatly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The film, arts and cultural sector is one of the hardest hit and the ramifications of Covid-19 will be felt by everyone for months to come. While physical distancing is necessary we urge all of you to connect here and with each other through your social media platforms. In the meantime we are pleased to share your experience and understanding of what our current students are also experiencing and your generous and thoughtful advice from our alumni day remain extremely valuable (where possible):

Make own projects
Stick together
Get work experience
Get seen
Use weekends
Be sociable
Use Linked In
Follow up emails
Use Call Box
Use Red Diary Service

We continue to learn from each other despite the uncertainty and there is much hope for our collective creative futures. Meanwhile here is COVID-19 advice for bectu members, including information for freelancers working in film and TV and workers in theatre, live events and the arts.

Stay safe and best wishes from all of us here at the course.
