What we'll do
Are you 11–15 and full of big ideas, creativity, and curiosity about how films are made? This 3-day summer programme offers you the chance to dive in the world of filmmaking. You will take on the role of either actor or film crew.  You’ll spend two days gaining film skills – whether that’s performing on camera or working behind the scenes - picking apart the scene we’ve given you, guided by industry professionals.     Then, Action! You’ll film the scene, edit it, add sound effects and music, and see your work come to life in a final screening to family and friends. No experience needed! Just bring your energy, imagination, and team spirit.

Inspiring young minds through the arts
The Bright Foundation is an arts education charity founded by Academy Award winning costume designer John Bright. They offer a programme of life enhancing creative learning to children and young people, particularly those experiencing disadvantage. The programme includes school visits, summer schools, performance projects, cross-curricular learning, wellbeing retreats, volunteering, family festivals, skills training, and career support. The Barn Theatre and Museum is set in 24 acres in a rural location just outside Hastings. The Barn Theatre is a 50 seat children’s theatre and workshop studio that presents inspirational puppet shows and theatre productions to children, young people and their families. The adjoining museum showcases John Bright’s personal collection of period toys, puppets and theatre sets dating from the 18th century to the present day. The Benbow Arts Space in St Leonards-on-Sea offers a programme to support young people between the ages of 11-21 to pursue their training and career ambitions, inspired by John Bright’s Early Cinema Exhibition.
