In this age of digitalization, there remains an old adage of cinematographers:“Originate on film, transfer to all the world”.
Shooting on film is a physical and chemical process; shooting on digital is an electronic one. Film holds more detail than zeros-and-ones, so if you shoot on film to start with, you end up holding the best cards.

“ I can seriously say the Foundation Course has changed my life! … I was working in Argos and now I am a freelance editor. On the course I was taught by such inspiring and knowledgeable filmmakers, and I shot my very own short film on film – which was terrifying but thrilling! After the course I joined Club Panico and made three short films – as well as working on numerous others. I highly recommend the course and the club for anyone who wants to make films.”
