    Testimonials

    • Aardman Animations

      Leicestershire gave me the best creative grounding that I could wish for. Making my first film at school, working with the Phoenix Youth Theatre and my initial training at Loughborough Art College nurtured my love of film and animation.

      Leicester has always had a strong culture of Music, Arts and Theatre . There is enormous energy and talent in the city and with the new developments and cultural investments that are taking place it is firmly on the digital map.
