It's just absolutely amazing. I'm so grateful to have an opportunity like this. It just turns things that seem like distant, impossible dreams, into realities. And it's just wonderful.

Filmmaking resources
If you're keen to support young people making a short film, we've got plenty of resources across all age ranges that can provide a simple and easy jumping-off point. Plus, our ongoing Film of the Month competition is another fantastic way for young people to get their films celebrated.
Our mini filmmaking guides explain every stage of the film production process, from development to distribution, whereas Six Sessions from Story to Screen gives a clear structure on how to make a film in half a term. Get Into Animation is also divided into six sessions, but focuses on the unique nature of the animation process. Finally, our Making a Wellbeing Film resource can help older filmmakers to shape their thoughts on sensitive and impactful topics, while Our Climate Documentary can help produce a climate-focused documentary film.
This award is a reminder that the voices of our students matter, their ideas matter, and that storytelling has the power to connect, challenge, and change the world.
