"Mia was always asking for more things to do and had questions about each task she was given which showed she was really thinking everything through. Mia did some really helpful tasks for us while she was here, most notably conducting some statistical research to help us write our end cards. Mia was also great in location with some speculative filming in the community and showed and excellent critical eye when looking at applying some AI techniques to a film to protect someone’s identity. Grierson DocLab is a great scheme for any company. By virtue of explaining our practices to someone so bright and genuinely curious we were encouraged to look beyond how we have done things and embrace the ever changing television climate. Mia would be an asset to any documentary making team. We really hope to have her work with us in the next series." - Amber Ronowicz, Executive Producer |
