I’m ran a 6 week short course on creative and ethical interviewing techniques through In the Dark, from 14th October to 18th November 2025.
Participants learnt how to prepare for and conduct a creative, ethical interview, and received training and feedback on editing and sound design. By the end of the 6 weeks, each participant had the opportunity to make a 3-7 minute audio sketch on the theme of MAGIC.
Quotes from participants on the course:
‘Jesse is a fantastic course leader. Sharp as a pin, thoughtful and excellent at communicating his skill set.’
‘It was REALLY fun!’
‘Jesse is a fantastic facilitator and the engagement from him is just so fabulous. I thought the content was spot on, the facilitation really good, and the structure of the programme was excellent. It was really great to hear someone take the pressure away and allow us the space to just get messy and creative with our pieces.’
‘I loved listening to all the different excerpts from the audio shows that Jesse shared in the sessions, and I loved the discussions & the feedback that Jesse shared. The 1-1 was also super useful – its rare to have a chance to properly chat to someone in the industry about making work, and it felt really generous.’
