Every year Young Film Academy helps over 5000 young people in more than 50 schools produce their first digital films. Their unique and hugely popular practical filmmaking programme, The One Day Film School (www.onedayfilmschool.co.uk), is opening student and teachers’ eyes alike to the possibilities of digital filmmaking within schools and the curriculum. Young Film Academys’ mission is simple: to get young people making films. The future of the British film industry depends on it.
The One Day Film School offers a dynamic day of hands-on filmmaking for up to 100 students. Run by industry professionals, the day includes workshops on Screenwriting, Camerawork and even Fight Choreography. The One Day Film School culminates in students working in teams to produce their own mini-films - all in time for a Film Festival and awards ceremony, complete with an Oscar for Best Film.
