Student Study Abroad Experiences

Ellie Tsapatsaris and classmates

“My time at the University of Roehampton allowed me to explore different areas of the film industry that I would have otherwise not considered. The program was also designed such that by the end of the semester, I had created three new short films to add to my portfolio. I would absolutely recommend time abroad to any film student looking to expand their studies and try new things within the industry!”

Sean Nolan with Throne from Game of Thrones

"Taking a television class at DIS-Copenhagen was pretty invaluable to my experience with FMST because along with learning the conventions and history of television both in the US and abroad, we were able to meet with actual screenwriters and directors of two popular Danish series: Pros and Cons (Screenwriter) and Equinox (Director), and engage with them to gain a better understanding for what they do on a day to day basis. As more of a screenwriter myself, meeting the writer of Pros and Cons (2018) inspired me to develop my own idea for a crime series based in Copenhagen and write the script for a pilot episode. I hope to continue this project down the road, but I credit it all to my experience both inside and outside of the classroom while studying abroad."

Jake Rothman in London

"At the University of Roehampton, London, I took a class about the Film Soundtrack and got to hear from experts in the field about the many creative decisions that go into crafting a film’s soundtrack. But my favorite experiences during my time abroad were attending the Prince Charles Cinema, a two-screen arthouse cinema that brought me great happiness."
