Jenne Casarotto has passed away on Friday 1st March 2024, at the age of 77.

Jenne was recently appointed Honorary Associate of London Film School. Jenne Casarotto was the founder of film, television and theatre agency Casarotto Ramsay & Associates Ltd, with Giorgio Casarotto. With a career spanning more than 50 years, Casarotto was an award-winning agent who was highly regarded throughout the world for her impeccable taste in writers and directors, unwavering dedication to her clients and for her calm and creative leadership.

At the end of January, we held our highly anticipated Graduate Showcase. A marvellous week packed with graduate film screenings, pitching, networking and of course, our Graduation Ceremony. Hosted at the British Film Institute in Southbank, we welcomed friends and family of our graduates as well as industry professionals to celebrate their magnificent work and give a wholehearted send off into the next phase of their film careers.

Thanks to everyone who is taking part in the London Film School Graduate Showcase 2024. The event includes screening 72 films, showcasing the work of 36 scripts and hearing many pitches and presentations. The event took place at the BFI Southbank, and online for two weeks.

Thanks to all our Honorary Associates, Jenne Casarotto and Nina Kellgren, to all our guests and hosts, and everyone who is joining us, we truly hope you enjoy what you find.

Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our Course Leader and Head of Screenwriting, Sophia Wellington. At London Film School (LFS), we offer an MA in Screenwriting which is an intensive one-year programme. Continue reading to see what Sophia told us about this excellent course.
