	Ben Cowper I love filming and my passion is to become a cameraman. Matapuna Training Centre gave me an excellent start into film and television. I furthered my skills in film and television by enrolling on the Film and Television course at Eastland Institute of Technology, Napier. My dream is to one day work for a television company. I recommend any school leaver to attend a Youth course at Matapuna, if you have a passion for multimedia, filming, web pages and graphic art. Have a go!
