Recommendation

“I wish to recommend Patrick Maxwell for his work film production and direction work and also as a tutor. Patrick 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 Patrick to those who are hoping to undertake similar training programmes or who are looking to improve the quality of their video based content.”
