Mediabox in partnership with Community Channel has a fantastic opportunity for 10 disadvantaged young people to make a film about a subject that is important to them. Is there a subject or issue that affects the young people attached to your organisation, that they wish to promote or highlight? If so, this prospect will provide them with the skills, resources and support to promote/highlight what is important to them, and get their voices heard.
The successful applicants will go on a daylong filmmaking workshop run by Mediabox. Through Media Trust’s Youth Mentoring scheme the young people will be matched to a media professional mentor, who will advise them on their creative ideas.
Each young person will then receive a My Mediabox grant of £500 and have six weeks to shoot and edit their short film. Their media professional mentors will be available via phone and email to support the young people through this creative process.
Media Trust will broadcast the films on Community Channel and across all of their online platforms. Mediabox will also distribute the content on as many platforms as possible through their media partners.
Who can apply?
Disadvantaged young people aged 13-19 years old (and up to 25 years old for those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities).
Successful applicants must meet the Mediabox target group and be able to travel to and from the workshop.
When?
The workshop will take place in London on Saturday 13th March 2010.
