The Creative Loop plays a vital role in bringing people from the industry closer to the colleges and students with the aim of preparing the future media professionals in Scotland, but of course not everyone is able to attend these vital sessions – especially during the busy Student Media Festival with so many sessions throughout the day.

In the Downloads section you’ll find a wealth of Creative Loop productions, created specifically for you to get one step ahead in your media career.  There are interviews with film stars, directors, radio presenters, radio programmers and so much more; so if you are looking to get your first foot on the career ladder, why not listen to someone who has been there before you and might even be the one doing the hiring.
