"The filmmaking programme was a transformative experience for our class. It gave our students the chance to dive headfirst into the world of scriptwriting and filmmaking in an engaging, hands-on environment. They were thrilled to learn how to craft compelling stories and translate their ideas into scripts, sparking a newfound enthusiasm for writing as a creative outlet and potential career path."

"My son John who is Down Syndrome along with eight of his friends were involved with a film project run by Liam and Megan. Each young adult had a part in the movie some had lines and others who were non verbal had action scenes. Liam and Megan ensured everyone was included and showed so much kindness, patience when directing each person in their role. They both made it all so easy, enjoyable and fun for everyone involved. It was wonderful to see how excited and happy John was when he was filming, he is now convinced he is a real celebrity."

"As a primary school teacher, I have had the privilege of organising a variety of workshops for my class over the years, but Liam Izzard’s film workshop stands out as one of the best we have experienced. Over the past two years, Liam worked with both our 5th and 6th class students at St. Evin's School in Monasterevin, and his approach to filmmaking was nothing short of exceptional. Liam’s workshop was engaging, educational, and hugely rewarding for the students."
