alongside those currently working in the UK.
Stephanie said “The fantasy films I enjoy tend to be shot in
the US or Canada so conventions focus on these countries.
Europe has a large fan base and hosting conventions here
is a great way to raise interest in the genre. There is a lot
of work still to do ahead of the convention, but I can’t
believe how much we have managed already. I could not
have achieved this without the incredible support I have
received, not least from the 46 NQ and HNC students who
are volunteering to help at the convention. As the event
draws closer, I will be offering opportunities to hair and
beauty students to help with hair and make up for our big
Saturday night dinner dance which ends the convention.
Becoming a film director is my ultimate goal, I absolutely
love these films and I want to share my passion for them
with fellow fans. I am really looking forward to meeting
the stars of the industry and getting my name known. I’ll
be editing all the footage from the convention and this will
give me some great experience for my future career.”

Julie Thorne, Curriculum Leader for Creative Arts said
“Stephanie’s enthusiasm and energy for everything she
undertakes is incredible. In the year before she came to
study with us her achievements were impressive: she had
a baby, wrote a novel and created a company! Stephanie’s
strong work ethic has had a positive influence on her
peers and she is giving them and most of our HNC Media
students a great work experience opportunity.”
