Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
Congratulations to Araminta (aged 17), from Conwy in Wales, Rosie (17) from Brighton, England, and Noah Berridge (19) from Bristol, England, who have all been named Ones to Watch (sponsored by EON Productions) at the Into Film Awards 2026.
Our Ones to Watch awards spotlight those young people who have already achieved great things and who we believe are destined to be the future of the UK screen industry. Our three Ones to Watch will receive a package of inspiring screen career opportunities and a cash prize of £1,000 each.
This year, our Ones to Watch also had their work and achievements celebrated on Piccadilly Lights in London, Europe's largest advertising screen, and situated in one of the world's most iconic locations.
Find out more about our inspirational and talented Ones to Watch below.
Araminta, aged 17
Conwy, Wales
Araminta has a love of film so strong that she claims the only way to possibly satisfy it is to make films of her own. She started making films at 16, filming highlight reels for her church. She made her first film with her best friends (Beware The Zoomies) and her love of film snowballed from there.
With a strong work ethic, Araminta has worked part-time with her dad at his production company Rocketland Ltd since the age of 14, where she has practised everything from scriptwriting to setting-up gear, holding the camera, focus pulling, and even handled some projects from start to finish, working with clients.
Araminta's drive is clear: instead of finding a part-time job to pay for college, she asked around and got a remote job editing social media reels for a family friend, which paid for her expenses every month. She's also found work doing photoshoots and filming weddings and concerts.
To Araminta, any career path is pointless unless there's a way it can bring some good to the world, evidenced by her film Tipping Point winning the Time For Action category at the Into Film Awards 2025. Araminta is very determined when it comes to following her dreams, and has plans to use the art of film to make our world a better place. We'd say she's well on her way.
Noah Berridge, aged 19
Bristol, England
Noah is an extraordinary young filmmaker whose work has already reached millions, won international awards, and demonstrated a maturity far beyond his years. He has been making films since he was 11 years old, and has created over 30 short films, organically amassing over 2 million views on YouTube and growing an audience of 18,000 subscribers.
He was accepted into the BFI Film Academy, and earlier this year, was selected from 300+ applicants to direct a film at the NFTS Academy, in partnership with Disney. He worked over two weeks with a team of young creatives to tell a story about a transgender experience. The film was screened at the Curzon cinema in Soho.
Noah has also very recently been accepted into the NFTS Creator Incubator - selected for one of 12 scholarship places fully paid for by YouTube, fending off competition from adults much further into their filmmaking careers.
Noah is fully committed to filmmaking; it's what he wants to dedicate his life to. His dream is to have a career 'creating films that have an impact and use the power of storytelling to create positive change.' The remarkable quality of his films from a young age - including Mr X is Not a Man, this year's Best Animation: 12-19 winner - is breath-taking, and along with his work ethic, ever-growing passion for filmmaking, and high ambitions, make Noah a clear One to Watch.
Rosie, aged 17
Brighton, England
Rosie is notable for the exceptional quality, maturity and consistency of her filmmaking, alongside clear evidence of national and international recognition for her work.
Through her filmmaking, Rosie has demonstrated a strong authorial voice and an ability to handle complex themes with sensitivity and clarity. Her short film The Freedom of the Sea achieved significant success, both internationally and at home, including Best Documentary at the Into Film Awards 2025.
She has continued to build on this success with subsequent work, which has been submitted and considered by numerous film festivals and competitions. This sustained recognition across youth and professional-facing festivals marks her out as an emerging filmmaker with genuine momentum.
Rosie's ability to combine strong visual storytelling with emotional intelligence leads to films that are thoughtful, purposeful and audience-aware. Her work shows a clear progression in confidence and ambition, and her showreel demonstrates versatility across form and subject matter.
Rosie aspires to continue developing as a filmmaker beyond education, building a portfolio that engages with real-world issues and meaningful storytelling. Her achievements to date, combined with her commitment to growth and creative risk-taking, mark her out as a young filmmaker with significant future potential and a clear trajectory within the industry.
