MA Film Producing

MA Film Producing is a one-year course taught over five modules and addresses all the core competencies required of a professional film producer in an industry that operates globally. Aspiring film producers are immersed in the LFS creative hothouse of student directors, screenwriters, and cinematographers from over 50 nations. The School is housed in two film studio buildings in Covent Garden, which contain shooting stages, full post-production facilities, and extensive camera and location kit. Script development, project management, budgeting, and delivery, and business skills are the key skills taught in this explicitly industry-facing MA program.

The central role of the Producer sits at the heart of the UK industry’s dramatic growth over the last decade (where production spending trebled from £2.4bn to £7bn – making the UK the second largest production center for film and high-end TV drama in the world after California).

By the end of the course, students will be sufficiently trained to enter the film / TV industry as a producer/line producer/production manager with the technical skills (project management, scheduling, financing, and contracting) that have been repeatedly identified as part of the UK skills shortage by industry reviews including the BFI / Broccoli Report. Graduating students will also be able to construct viable film/television proposals to external stakeholders, combining creative, business, and legal requirements while also addressing hot-button current issues such as diversity and sustainability.
