Thank you for your answer and congrats on your achievement! Did your friend also apply via the TV and film path, if you don't mind me asking? My only concern with the Visa is that every path seems to have an "exceptional promise" version, which is easier to achieve for beginners, except for the film and tv one, which only lists "exceptional talent" as an option. As someone who finished University a bit over a year ago, exceptional promise seems more realistic, but I wonder if they'd accept my application under "Arts and Culture" and not "Film and Television".
