Congratulations to Jonty Davies-Conyngham, who is the winner of this semester’s MAP Competition.

There were some really creative and passionate entries and it was really difficult to choose one winner, however, Jonty’s entry was very relatable for film students and is more relevant to young filmmakers now than ever:

Don’t obsess over the tech, use whatever you have as tools to make something amazing. Technology doesn’t make a movie.

Enjoy your prizes!!!
