Calling all PQA film enthusiasts! 📽️

Most films that we see on the big screen feature heroes, heroes that make us feel that anything is possible and that we have the power within us to overcome some of life’s challenges.

That’s why we’re challenging our students to make a 90 second short film, with the theme ‘A Hero’s Journey’.

We want to see films that inspire us. Films that show us your version of heroism. 🌟

Full challenge details can be found here 👉https://pqatv.com/news/a-heros-journey-short-film-competition/

🥳Today we celebrate 5 years of PQA Uxbridge AM. What a fantastic 5 years its been - we've performed at the Beck Theatre, in the West End and soon to be Broadway (Ealing Broadway😂). We've come highly commended in PQA film competitions and had films shown at the BFI and had our very own cinema screening at Cineworld. We've had laughs, thrills and whole lot of skills taught each week. My goodness have we had fun! We've been lucky enough to have two teachers with us for the duration! Our students continue to grow in confidence and technique. Looking forward to the next 5! Matilda is set to be an absolute corker! We can't wait for the next 5!

🤩The countdown to Summer is here! Why not join us at PQA Northwood for 4 days of fabulous fun bursting with creativity! 🎭5th - 8th August from 10am - 3pm each day exploring all things performing arts & filmmaking.

Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.
