On the MA in Filmmaking course, you will benefit from the allocation of a personal Industry Mentor, with whom you can meet once a month to discuss your creative work and who can help guide your choices, based on current practice. You are also supported by Academic Advisors and Module Leaders who will guide and support you in your academic research and reflective writing. 

MA in Filmmaking at Raindance is part-time, usually completed over two years, allowing students to combine their studies with career and family commitments. Modules and Tutorials are completed via distance/ online, meaning students can complete their studies in their own countries/ homes, but for UK and London based students, there is the possibility of attending the first two modules in person at Raindance HQ. There is also free, in person, access to all Raindance open courses worldwide for ALL enrolled students. 

You will have access to advanced MA screenwriting, directing, producing and documentary online workshops, and craft skills labs, that are run throughout the year. There are also numerous opportunities to collaborate with students from other courses at the film school on projects.

You will benefit from access to the Raindance Film Festival and Raindance industry events, as well as the opportunity to attend external festivals such as Cannes and Berlinale, helping you to begin to navigate your first steps into the international film and television industry. 

For those seeking to pursue careers in Academia, or further postgraduate study (PHD), the ‘Practice as Research’ model of the course also enables you to acquire the fundamental academic skills, and qualifications, required to pursue these goals.
