“I never thought I could make a film, but this workshop showed me that all you need is creativity and a little guidance. The mentors were awesome and really patient. I loved seeing my ideas come to life on screen!"

"Before the workshop, I was just a guy who liked watching movies. Now, I can say I've made one! The hands-on experience was incredible, and I learned so much about storytelling, filming, and editing. This experience has definitely inspired me to pursue filmmaking in the future."

Mr. Thompson, Media Arts Teacher

"The film workshop was a transformative experience for my students. It provided them with a practical, immersive learning environment that traditional classroom settings often can't. Watching my students grow in their creativity and technical skills over the course of the workshop was incredibly rewarding. They learned not just about filmmaking, but about teamwork, problem-solving, and expressing their unique voices. This workshop has definitely ignited a passion for storytelling in many of them, and I look forward to seeing where this takes them in their future"

Here's what you need to know 

What level of experience is needed?

Absolutely! No experience required, just bring your creativity and an open mind. We'll handle the rest!
 

​

The short fils workshops provide an ideal platform for honing performance skills cultivated in English and drama, as well as gaining proficiency in ICT or media studies.

​

In our workshops, you're the director of your own film! Whether you're passionate about history, languages, or any other topic, we encourage you to explore your creative ideas and bring them to life on screen.
 

And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, why not develop a script in another language? Our workshops cater to foreign language classes too, making learning a whole lot more exciting.
 

This hands-on approach isn't just about making movies; it's about nurturing creativity, sharpening critical thinking, and refining communication skills. It's an enriching journey that enhances your overall learning experience.

How does this fit into the national curriculum?

What equipment will be used?

It varies depending on the project and age group, but we'll supply all the equipment you need (except for your phones). Depending on your group's needs, they may use our professional production kit or our classic entry-level kit.

​

Another fantastic option is to film with mobile phones and edit using free software. This allows participants to keep honing their skills even after the workshop ends! Filming on phones is great for capturing adventures, creating funny videos with friends, or even making mini-movies. Our team will guide the young people on capturing the best shots and unleashing their creativity!
