I am Elliot Grove of Raindance, and I am writing to tell you about our new Diploma courses in writing, directing, producing and filmmaking at Raindance, starting in September, 2008. We have streamed our evening and weekend courses into easy-to-understand modules, making it simpler to complete training between September and the end of December. Raindance courses really work. Filmmakers who have taken our courses have made films which have screened at prestigious film festivals, won awards and made a combined box office total of more than one hundred million dollars. Our courses are not taught by teachers - they are taught by filmmakers who can teach. Our team also run the Raindance Film Festival and the British Independent Film Awards. Have a look at what we have on offer.
