Following the masterclass, you will be invited to submit a written application and a video portfolio. Based on these submissions, selected applicants will be invited to take part in a series of video interviews.
In addition to filmmaking skills and experience, we place a high importance on social maturity and the ability to be a reliable, sensitive and collaborative team member. We value applicants who can demonstrate life experience gained through work, travel and volunteering.
Why consider the OTOXO Programme as an alternative to a university degree?
The OTOXO learning experience is centered around participation in a real 1 hour documentary production for television broadcast. All classes are linked to the production, meaning that theory covered in class, is consolidated in practical experience. As well as receiving in-depth training, what differentiates the OTOXO programme is that after just one year, you also take away significant professional experience on their CVs.
Having spent a year in an award winning production company with a co-director credit to your name on a broadcast documentary, the OTOXO programme provides intensive training and also crucially the professional experience required to gain work in the audio-visual industry.
Does OTOXO provide student accommodation?
No, OTOXO does not provide accommodation. Finding accommodation is ultimately the responsibility of each team member, but we are here to provide guidance and support.
