Mission

Sharing experiences in a positive way and learning new skills in filmmaking and script writing will offer inspirational routes into further training or employment. Increase self-esteem, confidence, and engagement, nurture new friendships and reduce isolation. The opportunity to make a film that is honest and truthful to a young person's experiences. Audiences: Young people watching the films online or through a class at school feel less isolated, and more engaged with the issue and realise they are not alone. That advice and support sought earlier.   Schools have the opportunity to purchase a film, with local, regional voices, relevant to their pupils. That a classroom toolkit inspires teachers to start a discussion that will encourage empathy and break down complex issues.
