Meet the Falmouth students who worked on Rose of Nevada

Eleven students from our School of Film & Television spoke to us about their experiences working on the set of Rose of Nevada, the latest film from BAFTA-winning writer and director, Mark Jenkin.

The Distinguished Professor of Film Practice at the University continues to put Cornish filmmaking on the map with his latest feature film, which is being released in UK cinemas in late April.
