Bill Garrett (Head of Technology at BBC Vision) closed our symposium with a unique insight into what he thinks Staffordshire University Film Technology graduates will need to succeed in future. The session was very popular with the attendees, with Bill praising the good work that our students have produced upon the course. He stressed the need for students to be versatile with future technologies, and have many strings to their bow. Despite the uncertainty within the industry, Bill remained optimistic that there will be opportunities for determined, entrepreneurial storytellers in the future, albeit the medium may change in between now and the time some of the graduates finish their degrees! Bill judged at last year's GradEx, and with any luck, he will return this year to cast his eye over the quality of our final year student portfolios. 
Bill's closing seminar reiterated the need for us to be making films as opposed to simply be talking about films.
