“Studying my bachelors degree at NCD was an amazing decision that has greatly expanded my knowledge of media at a professional level, thanks to the ongoing support from my tutors. Filming and producing ‘No Means Nothing’ has been a positive challenge. Despite setbacks due to Covid-19, James, Rebecca and I have been able to push through to make a short film we are all proud to have worked on. It feels amazing that our hard work is being recognised.”
