Case Study

Chris Horton Films
 (CHF) is a commercial and music video based production company.
 
Credits include commercials for Harry Potter Trading Cards, Dr Gillian McKeith, the BBC and MTV, as well as music videos. Work is continually diversifying and this year CHF starts production on its first feature film.

CHF has been engaging students on placement since 2000. Chris estimates 90% of those who have undertaken placements are now in full time employment, as a direct result of the CHF reference and credit on their CVs.

Chris has now established a work experience programme for students, Little Piranhas.


 
Chris explains:
“It was as a result of my own experience as a student many years ago that gave me the opportunity to pursue a career path that has led me to my current position.  Without that opportunity things would have been very different….”
 
Anthony Barbe, a Thames Valley student, who is a member of Little Piranhas says:
“I believe this role will give me an advantage over other graduates out there who have done similar degrees to me. Not only have I had the experience of working in a creative environment, it has also been a professional fit with lessons to be learned.”
 
Chris considers the value of offering students this experience as immeasurable: 

“Achieving your own goal is one thing, but helping somebody achieve theirs, how great is that?”
