Confidence Through Filmmaking in Swansea

Help your child build real confidence, communication skills and leadership through professional filmmaking in a structured, safe, professional studio environment using professional equipment and experienced team-leaders.

From Shy to Confident. At the Swan Film Academy, students progress from short introductions to confidently presenting their own films at a public showcase where they take pride in their achievements.

Filmmaking is the vehicle. Confidence is the result.

• Speak clearly and confidently
• Work in creative teams
• Take leadership roles
• Solve problems under pressure
• Present ideas publicly

What Happens Each Week?

Each 2-hour session includes:

• Confidence-building exercises
• Practical filmmaking skills
• Team-based production work

Over 12 weeks, students create short films and present them at our Academy Showcase Night.
