"The training course Greenshoot ran was the perfect introduction to not only the role of a Green Runner but the basics of being on a film set. Since the course I've been lucky enough to virtually go from job to job and the knowledge I gained has stayed with me. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to add another string to their bow as a runner."

"Greenshoot were extremely helpful as I'd never worked on a feature film and throughout the shoot they encouraged me and consistently gave me good advice. As their dedicated 'green' runner, they taught me how to keep a film environmentally sustainable and helped guide me through the challenging first feature."
