Billy showed strong social, political and economical awareness surrounding the project that we worked on and was open to all angles of the subject. Billy is extremely focused and able to efficiently communicate his vision for a shot, which really helped us to get the best results.”</p> <p>Billy Langdown said: “Visiting Belfast really helped to crystallise my desire to create videos for social change and set me on the beginning of my path. It’s inspiring to think that I can highlight social issues that people might not know about, to educate people and raise awareness. My ambition if things go well would be to travel the world creating visually-stunning documentaries. I know that there’s a lot of work ahead, and I really want to hone my videography and develop more experience, but if I can captivate people visually to capture their attention, that’s the end goal.”</p>

I’ve had some excellent opportunities at Plymouth College of Art to develop my filmmaking skills, particularly the film shoot on Dartmoor with Zhang + Knight. They gave me an opportunity to specialise during the shoot, as a lighting assistant, which taught me a lot. After moving on to higher education I’m aiming eventually to secure a role as a camera operator or director of photography. I’d also like to continue creating video content for charities and helping causes that I feel passionately about.”</p>
