INTERNSHIP WARP
“When Mary Burke gave a lecture at the Uni, I
made myself a goal that I would be employed by
Warp. A couple of months later I got an internship
through the Uni and helped on a TV pilot for them,
before being offered a full-time job. The units on
the course are all things that I go back to everyday
at work, as well as learning to say yes to
everything.”
Lucille Sutherland
BA (Hons) Film Graduate
Development Assistant, Warp

INTERNSHIP WARP
“After Lucille’s internship in the summer 2010,
which was part of the Falmouth/Warp
internship programme, it was clear that she
was an invaluable asset to our team both
creatively and organisationally. Since then she
has grown into the role as Development
Assistant and PA to the MD of Warp Films,
Robin Gutch. She rocks.”

WHY FALMOUTH?
“The theory side gave me an invaluable insight into the
different contextual, theoretical and analytical
approaches to film in both local and global contexts,
while the practice side helped me to develop a number
of post-production skills that have become essential in
my current job.”
Jack Bridger
BA (Hons) Film Graduate
(Footage Researcher, Journeyman Pictures)

WHY FALMOUTH?
“I graduated with a first class degree, and worked as a
production assistant on a number of MTV shows, camera
woman, docu-drama editor, researcher and director's
assistant on adverts and music promos. Film at Falmouth
set me in good stead for a career in the media. When I
graduated I had a good working knowledge of a number of
cameras, editing software and design programs, all of
which helped me get my first proper production jobs. The
lecturers were also hugely supportive and pushed me to
achieve my best.”
Fern Beresford
BA (Hons) Film Graduate
(Director, Coy Communications)
