Development programmes and one-to-one mentoring for unrepresented creatives — built by working filmmakers, directors, and creative practitioners who understand both sides of the industry.
View programmes One-to-one mentoringWhether you are just out of drama school, pivoting disciplines, or have been working independently and want to move to the next level — there is a clear progression from where you are to where you want to be.
Understand where your practice stands and what the industry needs to see from you.
Workshops, programmes, and craft sessions that build the skills and materials that get you noticed.

A submission-ready package — CV, showreel, headshots strategy — and the knowledge of how to use it.
Group-based and cohort programmes that develop skills, build networks, and create work. All led by practitioners — not just tutors.

Most development programmes are taught by people who were in the industry. MTF is led by people who are still in it — writing, directing, producing, shooting, and editing. Annarie Boor is an award-winning filmmaker and director with fourteen international festival wins across three features. Simon Boor is a cinematographer, editor, and producer who has worked on all three. Between them, they cover both sides of the camera and the full arc of production.
That means the feedback you receive comes from current practice, not recalled experience. It means the connections we introduce you to are live ones. And it means when we tell you what the industry needs from you, it is because we are still operating inside it.
Read about the approach →Individual sessions and packages for creatives who want focused, personal guidance. Career strategy, submission readiness, discipline-specific coaching, or help navigating a specific challenge. Priced by session or package — nothing open-ended.
View mentoring packagesIt is a phrase that gets used without definition. In plain terms, industry readiness means three things: that your work speaks for itself without you in the room, that you understand how the industry makes decisions, and that you can position a multi-disciplinary practice without confusing the people you want to work with.
Concretely, it means a showreel that serves the roles you are pursuing, a CV that is formatted as the industry expects it, a self-tape that demonstrates technique rather than just effort, and a clear narrative about who you are as a creative. MTF is built around getting you there — through programmes, mentoring, or production support, depending on where you are starting from.
