Young Filmmakers Sudbury Autumn 2026
The Offshoot Foundation
A summary
FREE Filmmaking Workshops for Young People
Come and join us for 4 FREE sessions where young people can learn filmmaking skills from professional filmmakers!
Across the workshops, participants will work together to write, act, film, and edit their very own Halloween themed short film.
No experience needed — just a willingness to be creative, share ideas, and work as part of a team.
Key details:
· Suitable for ages 11 – 18 years
· Maximum of 20 places available per workshop.
· We prefer participants to attend all 4 sessions (since the project builds toward a finished film), but you’re welcome to join a few sessions if that’s all you can manage.
· You do not have to appear on camera if you don’t want to — there are plenty of behind-the-scenes roles!
What you’ll do (general guide):
· Session 1: Brainstorming film ideas, scriptwriting, learning about shot sizes and camera movement, film vocabulary, acting for screen, and discussing props, costumes, and crew roles.
· Sessions 2–3: Filming and editing.
· Session 4: Filming, editing, and a special screening for family and friends!
Schedule:
These workshops will be running 26th, 28th, 29th & 30th October from 1pm - 6pm.
What to bring:
· Please bring your own snacks/refreshments
· Refillable drinks bottle
· Comfortable clothing suitable for movement and weather
Come along, be creative, and discover how films are made!
At the end of the workshop, participants will receive AQA short awards (subject to meeting the criteria).

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
