“AFTRS was an essential resource for me, especially since I lacked accounting skills and understanding of the field. Despite my experience in Script Coverage and a creative grasp of production, I had no business acumen when it came to bringing a script to life on screen. The course provided me with an introductory understanding of Production Accounting, ranging from fundamental to advanced concepts. It empowered me with the confidence and knowledge needed to navigate the early stages of production, effectively dispelling any fears or feelings of being overwhelmed.”

“I did have prior experience working in film production, so I was already familiar with the filmmaking process from the Production standpoint. As an aspiring producer, I recognised that financial expertise is a crucial aspect that many overlook. When I discovered this course, it was the first time it was being offered, so I was keen to enrol and gain a deeper understanding of the role and it really showed me the inner workings of a production.”
