Pinewood Studio Careers Talk Inspires Pipers Creatives

Last week, we were fortunate to be visited by Adam Rose, Property Master from Pinewood Studios, to talk to our students about careers in the UK film and TV industry.

Adam gave valuable information to our Senior and Sixth Form students about his journey within the industry, including his beginnings as a Junior Props Runner on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. He has worked on many major productions since. Adam detailed the wonderful opportunities available to students following their Level 3 qualifications, such as the fully-funded courses in Prop Making, Special Effects Make-Up and Script Writing with the Creative Media Skills (CMS) Institute at Pinewood Studios.

Pipers Sixth Form student Sophia gave us a summary on how the event impacted her: “I have always believed that the Film and TV industry was an impossible one to enter but hearing Adam speak so passionately about the industry and its magic was so inspiring and as a result it has motivated me to find ways to pursue my passion and relating creative subjects as a career. It was so fascinating hearing how many different areas of film I could contribute to and how the Creative Media Skills Institute want to help young people to develop their skills and enter this industry.”

For over 85 years, the services, facilities and expertise at Pinewood has given it a global reputation as a trusted partner to the creative industry. They support a new generation of creative talent in their global network of studios, setting the stage for storytellers across the globe, for Film and TV, to audiobooks and games.

Thank you to Adam for his inspirational talk and we look forward to inviting him back to the School again.
