Overview

Over the period of three full days and under the guidance of NFTS’ highly qualified teaching staff, the students will be given an in-depth presentation of what the role of Production Co-ordinator consists of.

The course will give the opportunity to students to further develop their knowledge and skills in order to follow successful careers as Production Co-ordinators.

This course will be delivered by Carolina Grisorio, who graduated from Goldsmiths University (BA Drama and Theatre Arts) in London, before commencing her career as a freelance PA. She quickly excelled in the industry setting up and co-ordinating high-end film and TV international units such as well-acclaimed motion pictures: ‘Avengers Infinity War Part 1 & 2’, ‘Kingsman: Golden Circle’, George Clooney’s ‘The Midnight Sky’ and most recently Apple TV’s ‘Foundation’ from award-winning novelist Isaac Asimov.

Her versatility and experience in other departments are the backbones of her professional growth.
