Co-op lecture theatre, Main Admin Building ALL WELCOME
Wall to Wall CEO Alex Graham has been a leading figure in UK independent television production sector for almost 30 years.
In September 2010 I graduated with a 2:1 in Media Production. In the midst of rising graduate unemployment, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a job in television. Little did I know that a year later I would achieve my first TV Credits as ‘Offline Editor’ for a new children’s TV series: Cartoonito Tales.
