If there's one thing that's for sure about the Head of Collarts' new course in Screen & Media, it's that Sean Cousins is passionate. Over 20 years of filmmaking, Sean has lived in India, filmed bears in Alaska, seen the effects of pollution on national parks and more, but he's not one to spin anecdotes; instead, he's an inspiring advocate for telling human stories through the screen.
O-Week saw hundreds of new students stepping on the path to success and introduced into the Collarts community. We asked O-Week attendees from both the Design and Entertainment faculties what exactly made Collarts the best choice for them, and what we got were passionate creatives ready to take ahold of their own future.
At Collarts, we pride ourselves on our teachers who, beyond their talents as both teachers and professionals, are all currently active in their respective industries. Whether you're interested in our Diploma of Screen & Media or the Screen & Media Bachelor degree, here are the faces you'll be seeing in your classes.
