Hi. My name is Fiona Hughes and I am a Filmmaker. Below is the experience that I have, but I am always looking for more! Please get in touch if you have any opportunities at all, it would be much appreciated.
Work
experience
BFI Film Academy Cambridge
2015-2016
This was a one week intensive course where along with a crew of young people selected from a panel we made a short film: https://youtu.be/ZWAe0ga_OBA
I was chosen as Editor on the crew and it was an exhilarating experience that redefined my ambition to work in film. It helped me to gain the experience necessary to understand the process of working on a professional set.
Picturehouse Student Ambassador
2015 - present
As part of this role I work closely with the Picturehouse Cinema in Cambridge, distributing marketing material from their offices to various destinations around the college I attend, Hills Road Sixth Form College. This has given me vital insight into how the marketing of films operate and also valuable organisational skills as I have to communicate with their marketing manager in order to collect the posters and then distribute them around the college.
Jump Cuts Write/Shoot summer filmmaking course
August 2014
This was a one week course in the summer which enabled me along with a crew of young people, to make a short film: https://youtu.be/qSiiA-3Mfr4
This was the first time that I got to direct on an official project and it was very enjoyable and informative into what it actually takes to direct a project.
Education
Hills Road Sixth Form College
2015 - present
I'm currently studying at Hills Road Sixth Form College. As full time education tends to be a bit of a parasite on everything else in my life I'm currently only able to make films in my free time. But you'd be amazing how much free time there actually is when sleep is no longer factored in.
Comberton Village College
2010-2015
I attended Comberton village College as part of my secondary school education. It didn't give me much in a way of practical filmmaking skills but it did give me a free education, so... I guess it had its perks.
