Meet your new mentor
In this 2-minute video, you’ll hear from Hunter Boydell, who leads the Get It Made programme, about his own career journey as a writer and director – and how one short film can change everything for you!
What participants are saying:
“Get It Made was a truly enjoyable and valuable experience. The highlight for me was Hunter’s practical insight into the filmmaking process, the kind of knowledge you don’t find in textbooks. It was a great opportunity to have in-depth, ongoing conversations with an industry professional. The discussions were relaxed and engaging, yet full of useful advice. Hunter was always open and patient, happy to answer any questions and explain things clearly. Overall, it was an inspiring and accessible programme, that gives beginners real confidence and a genuine first step into the film industry.”
Ray (GET IT MADE 2025)
“I had a great time on this programme, and I learnt so much from Hunter, which helped to boost my confidence and feel more determined to make my short film. You don’t need any existing qualifications – if you have even the smallest idea for a film, this course guides you through the process and helps you to expand your story. I couldn’t recommend Get It Made enough to aspiring filmmakers!”
Madeleine (GET IT MADE 2025)
“I’ve just finished the programme, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Huge thanks to Hunter for his kindness, patience, and for sharing so much of his production experience with us. His explanations were always clear, thorough, and grounded in real industry practice, which made everything feel understandable and genuinely useful for our own projects. I’m coming away from this course feeling much more confident, inspired, and better prepared to move forward as a director. I highly recommend this training to any emerging or developing director who wants to learn in a supportive, professional and encouraging environment.”
Lumi (GET IT MADE 2025)
“Joining Breaking Jar’s Get It Made programme was a highly insightful experience. From the very start, beginning with planning and developing my project, through to the guidance on distribution and funding, both the training and the weekly one-on-one sessions with Hunter were highly valuable. He shares his own experiences openly and offers advice that is clear, practical, and personal. I came away with insights and tools that went far beyond what I expected when I first signed up.”
Kinga (GET IT MADE 2025)
“As a student currently studying Film and TV, the Get It Made course has greatly helped me with gaps of education left out in university. The one-on-one sessions really help with in-depth analysis and any questions you have for your own story and project. For me, it meant a lot to have someone with experience take the time to share tips and answers to any enquiry I had.”
Samira (GET IT MADE 2025)
“Get It Made is an inspiring programme grounded in practical considerations, breaking down the barriers to making your first film with compassion and purpose.”
Esalan (GET IT MADE 2025)
“I would highly recommend the mentorship programme from Breaking Jar, headed by Hunter Boydell, for any novice filmmakers or even experienced filmmakers who are needing support in making a short film. The given materials and advice on writing scripts and arranging a crew to be able to shoot a short film have been very beneficial. Being a part of this programme has given me the confidence and knowledge to make my short film idea a reality.”
Anderson (GET IT MADE 2024)
“Over the span of four weeks, we were given a crash course on the process of writing and directing our own shorts, from start to finish, in incredible detail. It turns out most of my worries, which centred around a lack of technical knowledge about the process, were practically unfounded. Learning about filmmaking directly from an experienced writer-director gave me a great deal of hope for the future. In terms of my writing hobby, it took only one piece of advice to give me a great deal of confidence in it, which I look forward to implementing in any future projects. I am so excited to keep working on my story.”
Isabelle (GET IT MADE 2024)
“Get It Made is such an appropriate name, as Hunter’s passion for filmmaking will provide you with the belief that your unique story and vision will be achieved.”
Ethan (GET IT MADE 2024)
“I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of the Get It Made programme. Most of my experience in this industry is acting. However, I’m the kind of person that likes to expand my knowledge and gain experience in all areas. I don’t like to limit myself and I want to learn as much as possible. This programme made sure that I will not limit myself and I will learn. I’m going to continue to work hard on my short film, utilising the invaluable knowledge that I have gained, and will also continue to use in all future projects.”
Kai (GET IT MADE 2024)
“Working with Hunter on the Get It Made programme was truly brilliant. It’s been incredibly helpful, and put me in good stead for producing my film. I now have the confidence to actually make it!”
Tom (GET IT MADE 2024)
“I really enjoyed the film production course with Hunter. I have so many ideas for different films, but I had no idea how to bring one to life! I now feel like I have the knowledge to start producing my first short film next year, and I can’t wait! Thank you so much Hunter for giving me the tools and the confidence to kick off my journey as a director!”
Charlotte (GET IT MADE 2024)
“I took part in Breaking Jar’s Get It Made programme in 2024. Hunter broke everything down into an easy-to-understand format, using examples from his own work to further explain his points. His ‘no frills’ attitude to film creation makes everything feel achievable. He is positive, encouraging and uplifting. The weekly one-to-one calls were invaluable, with Hunter asking all the right questions to help you explore the elements of your project and find the answers within yourself. If you have even just a kernel of an idea for a short film – join the Get It Made programme.”
