MediaU is a groundbreaking new way to learn a new craft or add to your professional qualifications in the Entertainment Industry. It can be the “escalator” for those who have already started their professions but want to remain current, it can be used for training and developing skills of people already in the “industry”, or for those who are brand new to Entertainment.
Providing students access to education that is focused on professions in the entertainment industry by offering mentoring and courses that take them behind the scenes for real-world experiences that will help them develop or improve their skills is what MediaU provides.
Faculty and mentors with substantial industrial experience and understanding complement the curriculum. Free material, on-demand focused sessions, and courses that allow for real-time discussion and feedback, as well as certification, will be among the content and course possibilities.
MediaU lends a helping hand to individuals and varied groups. Emerging people seeking professions and creative platforms in filmmaking, television, and media are helped and given opportunities by the firm.
MediaU’s mission is to help enthusiastic people succeed in the film, television, and entertainment industries by providing accessible, affordable, and inclusive training, mentoring, networking, and guidance – all delivered in an experiential, scalable, Web3-ethos community and facilitated by currently-working Hollywood and international media professionals.
