“Victoria Jelinek is a joy to be around. From the moment she arrived at the London Film Academy she has radiated good humour and an infectious enthusiasm for film, backed up by an in-depth knowledge of her subject. She is astute yet deeply modest; a thoughtful and sympathetic listener who brings out the best in those around her.”
Sebastian Secker Walker, Screenwriter, Screenwriting Tutor LFA.
“Victoria Jelinek is a one-woman film school. She has generously shared her knowledge to help me get two independent features off the ground. From the first reading she was able to direct me to the people who would be interested in my projects, a kind of knowledge that would have taken me years to accumulate. She knows these things inside out. Victoria's grasp of the life cycle of film (and the myriad of complexities that that throws up), is impeccable and she has been an invaluable guide in making sense of the whole process.”
Shaheen Schleifer, Film Producer, Club Panico graduate

Mahasen Nasser-Eldin, MA Film making Candidate Goldsmiths College

Jon Hammond, Editing Tutor, Tisch School of Arts/New York University in Singapore
“The feedback and analysis I received from Victoria for a project I’d like to get off of the ground was thorough, well informed and pertinent.”
John Le Brocq, Film Producer, LFA Producing tutor
“Victoria has inspired me and has been refreshingly frank and honest. I just want to thank you Victoria and I hope there are more people like yourself who want to help new filmmakers.”
Akifa Mian, Goldsmiths MA in Film making
“With her warm and generous nature, Victoria helped me get my first short film off the ground and inspired me to increase my knowledge in all areas of film making. A large knowledge of film making and its various aspects combined with a never diminishing level of enthusiasm and hard work is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Victoria’s amazing qualities.”
Adam McHattie, Filmmaker, Club Panico graduate
“Victoria's knowledge and passion for film is an inspiration to everyone who has the good fortune to meet her, myself included.”
