TESTIMONIALS FROM THE FIRST CREATIVE NETWORK EVENT

“Since my time at JMC, I have been privy to attending events that I otherwise may not have heard about and these are the moments where JMC shines. It is consistently going above and beyond to help students both in and outside the classroom. This may have been the first ‘Creative Network’ but it most certainly shouldn’t be the last.”
– Curtis Lee, Film & Television Student JMC Academy

“It was very interesting and informative. I learned some skills that I can apply to my own projects.”

“Everyone did a great job. Keep providing these opportunities – it’ll do wonders for people looking to get more involved.”

“I loved the event, it was a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with industry professionals and Screen Australia. 1000% would attend again.”
