Alumni

The School of Filmmaking

The best education in film is to make one.

– Stanley Kubrick

“Being Autistic and Dyslexic, most people would never have believed I could finish a degree. Yet, because of the support I received from my instructors at APAC, I am now a four-time graduate holding double bachelor degrees. I have since gone on to found my own production company and to pursue my career as an actor and performer.”
