We are celebrating 10 years of Principal Partnership with Warner Bros. Entertainment and are proud to celebrate what we have achieved together since 2008.

Our Principal Partnership with Warner Bros. was sparked by a shared commitment to support emerging talents to ensure talented people are able to reach their potential, regardless of their background or financial means. The partnership has rooted film training within RADA’s classical curriculum and Warner Bros.’ sustained commitment benefits students across the Academy, enhancing our world-renowned curriculum.

I’m immensely grateful for the ongoing support from the Warner Bros. team. The financial support has relieved an enormous amount of pressure while I train full time; I really can’t thank them enough. I’ve also been paired with a mentor experienced within my field, to meet up with regularly and help me navigate my way as I begin in the industry.

RADA Films

Every year, RADA produces six short films featuring original, commissioned scripts. A professional director leads the company of final year BA (Hons) Acting and Foundation Degree Technical Theatre students to produce screenplays filmed on location, which are premiered at the annual Film Showcase in the Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre.

Thanks to the involvement of Warner Bros., this activity has continued to develop, notably to include an increased number of students experiencing both green screen facilities and film craft disciplines, as well as incorporating a greater variety of locations.

For the graduating students, these films have also helped with gaining representation and experience for future work in the film industry.
