Prince William, President of Bafta, immersed himself in the world of filmmaking at the London Screen Academy. The academy, dedicated to nurturing film and TV skills, offers free education to 900 students along with traditional subjects like English and maths.
During his visit, Prince William explored the state-of-the-art facilities, including the costume department where he jokingly considered donning a steampunk outfit for a night out. The academy aims to break down barriers in the film and television industry, which has been criticized for its lack of diversity.
Prince William was impressed by the academy’s mission to provide opportunities to students from all backgrounds, dispelling the notion that the industry is exclusive. He interacted with students and even tried his hand at camera work, receiving praise for his skills.
The visit culminated in Prince William participating in a mini-movie project, highlighting the academy’s creative energy and commitment to making filmmaking accessible to all. The experience showcased the academy’s impact in empowering young talents like Kendra Nwogu, who previously thought a career in movies was unattainable.
Overall, Prince William’s visit underscored the importance of inclusivity and opportunity in the film industry, bridging the gap between aspirations and reality for aspiring filmmakers.
As the director yelled “Action!” the clapperboard snapped shut, marking the beginning of yet another captivating scene. In a setting like this, the aim is not just to create action on screen but also to bring it to life in the real world.
