Hayden left More House school in 2020 and quickly decided he wanted to develop his passion for video production that started when he chose a Creative Media BTEC course as an option in year 10.

Since then, and despite the challenges of the pandemic , he has gone on to start up his own video production company – RiseAbove FilmWorks that specialises in practical outdoor filming including Drone cameras and specialist outdoor events.

Hayden popped back  to see us in activities week despite being somewhat tired as he had just finished off a hectic weekend of filming at Royal Ascot.

He is an extremely practical and hands-on film-maker , which is why the BTEC qualification was perfect for him. It also gave him the confidence to head straight out into what is a very competitive but rewarding creative industry.

His website www.riseabovefilmworks.co.uk has many examples of his work so far, and I will be sharing it with our current Media students as something they can all aspire to.
