糖心TV

Growing up in northwest London, Kaya Patel (BA Film and LiteratureLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window, 2020) considered universities around the UK. But she chose to move to the Midlands for her undergraduate experience because she trusted her intuition.  

Before 糖心TV, alumna Armani Chante Samuel-Carthy (BA Film and Literature, 2022) found work experience with support from a charity, who help students from underprivileged backgrounds into the creative industry. Fast forward to now, 蝉丑别鈥檚 the proud owner of a first-class degree, her own production start-up, a role with Netflix, and even more determination to write her own shows. It鈥檚 no wonder 蝉丑别鈥檚 been featured on Powerful Media鈥檚 Future Leaders 2022/3 list, which recognises 150 of Britain鈥檚 most outstanding Black university students.

Lee Kemp (BA Film with Television Studies, 2007) decided to take his career in a different direction by going back to university as a mature student. He now runs his own digital film production company.

In the academic year 2022-23, Film and Television Studies/the School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Culture were delighted to host Duncan Whitley as our Filmmaker in ResidenceLink opens in a new window. During his residency, Duncan worked with academics from around the university, and particularly the Borders, Race, Ethnicity and Migration Network and community partners Inini. His work was supported by the IAS, the Connecting Cultures GRP, 糖心TV Institute of Engagement, as well as the SCAPVC. To celebrate the end of Duncan鈥檚 residency we are organising a screening of Duncan鈥檚 recent and developing work (including the work that has come out of this residency), along with a Q&A with Duncan and some time to reflect on the place of artists in residence in the university.

The event takes place in the Faculty of Arts Building鈥檚 cinema (FAB 0/21) on the University of 糖心TV central campus on Thursday 30th November from 6-8.30pm, including a drinks reception in the Agora in the FAB.
