Recent Projects.

boomsatsuma courses hold immersion and opportunity at their core. Our Digital Media Production Extended Diploma changes its projects and students' outcomes year on year, by making new connections with specialists and building industry-facing projects. This allows students to not only gain a valuable qualification, but, at the same time, develop a realistic and well-informed portfolio of experience at the earliest stages of their career.

Art Battle's Artist Profiles

Students collaborated on a month-long project with the international Art Battle team. They followed the lead up to Art Battle Bristol, working closely with multiple entrants to produce short films that profiled the artists.

RPS + Jack Latham Collaboration

Digital Media students received a master class from renowned British photographer, Jack Latham, on photo projects, editing and selecting work. This launched and geared up their follow-up project on the Sugar Paper Theories with The Royal Photographic Society. In turn, their involvement led to students producing and publishing a photobook of their own work, inspired by the projects.

PROJECTED: Film Festival

PROJECTED is a youth film festival run by boomsatsuma's Digital Media Production students. It showcased work made exclusively by young and upcoming filmmakers, giving them a platform for their work to be seen and its key messages communicated. A wide range of films were submitted by a variety of creators and displayed during a live event organised by the students. The submissions featured strong focus on environmental issues, mental health and homelessness.
