Central Film School is proud of the diversity in its study body. We have welcomed students from more than 52 countries over the past 10 years and this multiculturalism has been a defining characteristic of the school, as well as a driving force in its development.
In 2025, alumni Fern Jessop and Morgan Quashie’s graduation film Out Like a Lamb won Best Drama at the prestigious Royal Television Society London Student Television Awards.
Having been nominated in two categories, this recognition is a reflection of the creativity and hard work behind their film. It’s a fantastic achievement to cap off what has been a highly successful festival run for the team. From concept to final cut, CFS students possess the dedication and storytelling skills that set them apart in the industry.
Practical Filmmaking alumni Asya Segalovich was the winner of 2nd Prize at La Cinef at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for her film Out the Window Through the Wall

“I think the Practical Filmmaking course is good for developing not only in one capacity but across various disciplines & departments within film production. Film being a medium that requires many resources, I think it’s great to know how to do a lot of things yourself, to be less limited in what you can create independently.”
reflects on her experience at last year’s and the success of her film Out The Window Through The Wall. Read more about her experience at Cannes Film Festival and her inspiring journey in our blog post.
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Carlie Tufnell Spark Fund for another year, offering a £10,000 grant to a graduating student from Central Film School to help further support their filmmaking career.
Last year, the prize was awarded to CFS graduate of MA Filmmaking, Charlotte Ainsworth to support the creation on her new short film ‘Maybrick’.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to the Carlie Tufnell Spark Fund for their continuous support and generous contributions to nurturing the next generation of filmmakers.
“Since graduating from Central Film School in 2021, I have been working as a producer at a creative advertising agency called Ogilvy which involves working across a number of projects at a time for different brands. During pre production I take care of all the budgeting, scheduling, production paperwork, bookings and liaisons with the creatives, account managers, clients and talent. I will then attend the shoots, ensuring we capture everything we need, staying on track with timings, taking a lead on overcoming any logistical hurdles and ensuring the welfare of the crew.

BA (Hons) Practical Filmmaking, Producer at Ogilvy
“When choosing a place to pursue my postgraduate, I wanted a university with a hands-on approach where I could develop my portfolio and make connections. From the interview process right through to graduation, I was granted the time, knowledge and support to take part in projects beyond what we were learning in class. After graduation, I returned to Brazil and because of the portfolio I developed, I have been able to integrate into the local audiovisual industry. My time at CFS has helped shape the career I want to have and how I want to go about it.
