Case Study: Jiawei Li
From Bootcamp Trainee to Associate Producer and Industry Trailblazer
Jiawei Li’s journey through EMC Productions' bootcamp programme exemplifies the transformative impact of hands-on industry mentorship:
Beginning in the editing department on EMC’s debut feature TRAMP, Jiawei quickly distinguished himself through his creative insight and strategic acumen.
His talent and initiative led to his promotion to Associate Producer, where he played a pivotal role in brokering an unprecedented theatrical distribution deal with China Film Group- the country’s leading distributor- marking a landmark moment for UK-Chinese independent film collaboration.
Since completing the bootcamp, Jiawei has been recognised across the international film industry, with features in SCREEN DAILY, DEADLINE, and THE STABLE, which named him “a rising talent bridging UK and Chinese cinema.”
He has since co-founded Green Brick with EMC Productions, a venture dedicated to deepening cultural exchange between the two regions.
Jiawei’s trajectory is a testament to the bootcamp’s mission: empowering emerging voices to become GLOBAL INDUSTRY LEADERS.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Yin Yixuan
Working with Philip (director) and Marina (producer) was an incredibly rewarding experience. I gained valuable insights into how the industry operates, and I was consistently struck by their kindness, patience, and unwavering support. Even when challenges arose on set, they managed everything with remarkable calm and professionalism, creating an atmosphere of confidence and trust.
The set was filled with talented individuals who were generous with their time and knowledge. Joshua (our AC) and Joseph (location sound), in particular, were open in sharing their expertise, which deepened my understanding of the technical side of filmmaking. The entire team brought a level of passion and professionalism that was both inspiring and motivating.
It was a truly collaborative environment where I felt encouraged to grow and contribute. I’m already looking forward to the next shoot, feeling more prepared and excited to keep learning.
