WHAT’S NEXT?

To offer a flavour of future plans: we will be building upon what has worked well in the initial phase of the project. The format established of delivering a two year programme made up 10-12 week intensive blocks which synchronise with the school yearly timetable will continue. Spring and autumn are the preferred times of the school year. 2023-2024 programme will involve inviting pupils to meet and work with industry professionals whose work tends towards being more behind-thescenes. The children will include connecting with professionals who specialize in make-up, props, scriptwriting, editing and sound. This is part of a strategic approach which focuses on ‘developing the future workforce’; a current priority for the school. And everyone will of course keeping making more films!

BIG THANKS to everyone involved: pupils + filmmakers + cinema volunteers + teachers.
