About the course creator
This course has been written by Jennifer Leatherby. Jennifer developed the commercial filming offer at Imperial War Museums 7 years ago, and managed filming across the 3 London sites, IWM London, Churchill War Rooms and HMS Belfast for 6 years; all very different sites with their own operational challenges.
Now, as the Business Development Manager for all 5 branches of IWM, for the Commercial Events Experiences and Catering department, she manages how they continue to grow and develop their commercial filming offer.
The course is presented by actor and voiceover artist Adam Donaldson.
Not only will you benefit from the commercial filming fees, but there is also the secondary benefit of huge PR exposure for your location, the impact of which can sometimes be seen for years after the release of the picture
