Film project focuses on youth - Dead line Feb 6 - act now!
Last updated 11:50, Saturday, 31 January 2009
A FILM company is offering teenagers the chance to get involved in free digital photography workshops.
Signal Films, in Barrow, is running an exciting project where 13 to 19-year-olds from Furness and Ulverston area will work with a professional photographer.
The company particularly wants to encourage young parents and NEET teenagers – Not in Education, Employment or Training – to take part in the government funded Mix Mediabox project.
The youngsters will create their own professional portfolio of images around the idea of youth identity.
The images will then be exhibited in a special celebratory showcase event in March.
The workshops start in mid-February.
The group will work with professional London-based tutor, John Carroll, in learning essential techniques in photography.
The young people gain hints and tips on what makes a good photograph and new skills which they can use by taking stills on location around the Furness area.
The deadline for applicants is Friday February 6.
For more information contact Signal Films or Connexions in Barrow.
If you miss this opportunity let me know as I've been hoping to persuade someone in Ulverston to run a similar course with expert input, also under the Mix Mediabox Project.
For everyone over 16 :
