WORK WITH US
Training That Builds the Industry
WLF Advance isn’t just a training provider. We are a production ecosystem — and when you work with us, you work with an team actively making films, managing talent, running co-working spaces, and shaping the regional screen industry every single day. That means our training is grounded in the reality of the industry right now. Not theory from a textbook; not war stories from a decade ago. Real, current, practical expertise — delivered by people who are still in the room when deals get made. If you are an organisation that wants to invest in screen talent, we would love to hear from you.
HOW WE WORK
Commission Bespoke Training
Do you have a team, a cohort, or a community that needs tailored training?
We design and deliver bespoke programmes for:
- Screen agencies and film offices looking to develop regional talent pipelines
- Local authorities and councils investing in the creative economy
- Production companies onboarding new talent or upskilling their teams
- Universities and colleges seeking industry partnerships for their film and media students
- Arts organisations wanting to offer their communities a route into the screen industries
We will work with you to understand your objectives, your audience, and your budget — and build a programme that delivers measurable outcomes. Every bespoke programme we deliver is underpinned by the same philosophy that drives everything WLF Advance does: the best way to learn film is to make film.
PARTNER PROGRAMMES
We have a strong track record of delivering training funded by public bodies; we are experienced in:
- Developing funding applications in partnership with industry organisations
- Meeting the reporting, safeguarding, and compliance requirements of public funders
- Building programmes that are accessible, inclusive, and regionally rooted
If you are a screen agency, local authority, or industry body with access to funding — or with the appetite to co-apply — we are open to conversations about what we could build together.
