Jay Shurey
Owner / Lead Film Studies Tutor
Jay is a Film Studies tutor who specialises in film production.
Jay has always had a keen interest in Film and Media since the day he first picked up a video camera. Film making provided Jay with an outlet to express his ideas and also bring people together as a team working on joint projects. He is now an award winning professional filmmaker, working on a number of short and feature films as producer and writer.
In 2019, Jay decided to branch out into the world of tuition, sharing his knowledge with others, enabling them to understand the history of film and showing learners how to create their own works.
