Tom Barrance

Tom with camera

I’m one of the UK’s most experienced film educators. I’ve taught hundreds of children, young people and adults to make their own films.

I run online and face to face training in filmmaking for businesses, nonprofits, charities, arts and youth organisations, schools and higher education. I also run workshops, activities and longer projects, and make short films for organisations.

I have contributed to many film education projects and workshops over more than 25 years, working with organisations including Apple, BFI Education, Cadw, Film Education, Filmclub, Film: 21st Century Literacy, Ffilm Cymru Wales, Into Film, Kids in Museums, Literature Wales, Wales Millennium Centre and Zoom Cymru.

I teach workshops on creating video essays for Imperial College London.

My publications and interactive resources include Start Making MoviesEditClass, Making Movies Make Sense, Using film in schools and Filming History. I recently developed the Futurelearn course How to Make a Short Film for the British Film Institute.

I’m based near Cardiff, South Wales. I have delivered training and made presentations about filmmaking and film education around the UK and in Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy and the Republic of Georgia.
