uScreen inspirational film competition local entries

At the end of the last summer term, 14 young students from Jack Hunt School were given the opportunity to create and produce their own film for the uScreen film competition. uScreen were
"looking for young filmmakers to tell stories about an inspirational person in their life who has ‘Sparked a Positive Shift’ and changed the way they think or behave. uScreen is looking for original, honest, creative short films that simply tell the story of someone remarkable and special to the filmmaker. "
For the competition, any deaf and disabled aspiring filmmakers, aged 14 to 24, from across the UK, were invited to apply for the opportunity to be one of the top 15 film makers to be selected for an award and have their film screened at special gala event hosted by Pinewood Studios.

The young people had inspirational film making workshops with deaf film director Ted Evans. Within the five days, between going to their lessons and doing homework, they had to convert their storyboards into films. The acting itself was enjoyed by all. The behind-the-scenes labour of the editing process was endured by all. With the thankful postponement of the deadline until late September, the young students returned to school in early September and spent many hours beating the IT gremlins to produce their finished pieces.

Now we are asking for your help. The young film makers are encouraged to share their films with all their social media and any film channels that they can access and are to tell their friends to watch and comment on their films. They might just win!
