Element Pictures Expands 'Making The Grade' Nationwide
19 Apr 2018 : Nathan Griffin
Due to the huge demand from cinemas and audiences alike and bucking the traditional trend, Ken Wardrop’s ‘Making The Grade’ will expand this week in Ireland with a 50% increase in site numbers.

 ‘Making The Grade’ invites us into the world of the piano lesson. Every year teachers and students throughout Ireland prepare for graded musical exams. These exams can be pleasing for some but daunting for others. Each student has their own goal but reaching Grade Eight is considered a pinnacle. This endearing and uplifting documentary explores the bond between piano teachers and their pupils as they struggle through these grades. This is a story of the transformative power of music and the pride and happiness it provides both the students and teachers. It may inspire us all to keep making the grade.

Speaking on the success, Director Wardrop commented:

It’s been very special for all involved in this project to witness so many people embracing our film. The feedback has been truly amazing. It was such a wonderful experience making it and now to see a larger audience getting an opportunity to see it is very exciting. It’s what filmmakers really hope for. So we now want people to continue to spread the good word and we may even give some of these blockbusters a run for their money. Here’s hoping!”
