Sister Film School
Film
In early 2017 my sister, Hannah (@PoppyPascoe), graduated with a master’s degree from film school. Unfortunately film school does little to prepare you for real life. Sister Film School is an attempt to learn from film makers and creatives who’ve made the move from wanting and waiting to doing. Co-hosted by me, Ben Pascoe(@Thesocietyofben) someone who knows the nervousness and difficulty of making that same transition a decade earlier.
