Case Study: Partnering with the BFI to develop film production-specific training

Navigating sustainable choices in filmmaking, both on and off-screen, can be a daunting task. To tackle this challenge, the BFI Sustainable Screen Fund is working with, and has awarded National Lottery funding, to albert as a partner for production.
