As well as studying the history of filmmaking Anna also made her own films from experimental shorts to documentary.

Following her graduation Anna read an MA at Bournemouth Media School in Broadcast and Film Management. For her dissertation Anna produced "An investigation into the changes taking place in the sourcing and utilisation of locations for film and television production and their impact on tourism and the economy" - admittedly the longest dissertation title in history but one which makes her more qualified than anyone to work for SPACE-2!

James joins us from a 12 month stint project managing a construction project in Kabul. If this is not enough experience of an extreme environment for the type of locations we look after we are not sure what is. James' passion for photography is being fulfilled partly by his studying for a Diploma in Photography at the Institute of Photography but also now in his day-to-day handling of all photography and multi-media filming location enquiries at SPACE-2. James is also our roving locations photographer ensuring that all our new locations look as exciting as they can.
