PROFESSIONAL MENTORING

St. Martins trained Johnny Hardstaff has worked professionally as a highly successful and awarded filmmaker / director / artist for almost 30 years (biography). Alongside his professional practice he has taught concept-led film, video, animation and graphic / brand communication at some of the UK’s leading art institutions as a Guest Lecturer (Royal College of Art, CSM, LCC and many more), a Visiting Lecturer (Manchester School of Art, Chelsea College of Arts), an Associate Lecturer (Camberwell College of Arts) and a full-time academic (LUSAD). Johnny has also undertaken several years training in psychotherapeutic counselling.

Johnny professionally mentors diverse creative individuals (19+) at varying stages of their career, whether students just setting out or those looking to bypass the established higher education system entirely, professionals seeking to rethink or hone their practice in some way or more mature individuals wanting to recharge or change direction entirely. The areas most regularly touched on are ideation (how to have great ideas), critical judgment (recognising great ideas when you have them), innovation and originality, individuality, career trajectory, career sustainability and creative mindset.

Mentoring occurs largely online as discreet one-on-one hour-long sessions and can be taken on an ad-hoc or structured basis as desired.
