Recommendation

“I wish to recommend Octave Digital for their film production and direction work and also as a tutor. They facilitated a two-day course at the Arts Council offices and provided us with an extremely comprehensive overview of the practices and processes involved in film production. We would very much recommend Octave to those who are hoping to undertake similar training programs or who are looking to improve the quality of their video-based content.”
