MA Film Producing is a one year course taught over five modules, and addresses all the core competences required of a professional film producer in an industry which 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 on this explicitly industry-facing MA programme.

The central role of the Producer sits at the heart of the UK industry’s dramatic growth over the last decade (where production spend trebled from £2.4bn to £7bn – making the UK the second largest production centre 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) which 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.
