Our EXPERIENCe
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US. . .
FreeRadicals patient, reassuring disposition and insightful nature combined with high levels of expertise allowed me to finally grasp the elusive words and put them on page. This was an invaluable part in the writing process. Working with Andy helped transform my writing to reach levels I could not have achieved on my own.

Andy is genuinely one of the most thoughtful and sincere artists that I know. His abilities in film, photography and writing are formidable and are matched by a keen intellect that isn't afraid to question convention.
Lecturer in Music Technology and Composition. Aberdeen University.
This critical dialogue helped me to find a focus in my work. Freeradicals surpasses other online learning I've tried by providing hard to find 'personal' advice, feedback and genuine understanding. I think this will really help me and others trying to establish themselves as creatives.

Andy has a mature intellectual demeanour…and is a talented artist. But underlying his work is a conscientious rigour. Always questioning the rational behind creativity and the value society places on cultural activities.
Prof Gareth Fisher
Former Professor and Head of Fine Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee University, Scotland.
Andy’s tutorship helped me to develop my craft as a filmmaker. His advice is very considered and always struck a good balance between developing the technical and conceptual aspects of filmmaking. He has a great way of weaving his wisdom and knowledge from many different areas of his expertise and applying them to your individual needs.

Andy has the necessary temperament to ensure that a (one-to-one) tutorial nurtures critical reflection whilst simultaneously providing support and encouragement. He has high levels of knowledge and expertise of the current debates, trends, issues and contexts relating to fine art film and photography.
