With new filmmaking techniques and opportunities, the RTS believes that these Awards provide a fantastic way to celebrate and recognise your outstanding skills, ambition and creativity and a unique opportunity to put your creative talents before the critical eye of professionals, win recognition for your skills, and even “audition” for a first job in the television, media and film industry.
Hosted by rapper, author and broadcaster Guvna B, the winners were crowned at the prestigious awards ceremony at the IET, Savoy Place on the Friday 21 June. The RTS Student Television Awards is an annual celebration, showcasing the talent, potential and enthusiasm of students across the UK, identifying exceptional skills and craftsmanship.
The East of England’s TV industry faces unique challenges and opportunities. I sat down with Charlie Gauvain, Managing Director of Eye Film in Norwich and Vice-Chair of RTS East, to discuss these dynamics and shed light on the region’s achievements and the hurdles it must overcome.
The East of England has seen less commissioning activity than areas such as the North East and South West. The situation is particularly dire this year. “There’s a lot less commissioning than there’s ever been,” says Gauvain.
The awards were presented this afternoon at a prestigious ceremony at the BFI Southbank and hosted by TV and radio presenter, Will Njobvu.
