Get involved in Making My Mark, a free programme for 16 – 25 year-olds to be one of 10 young producers that go on a creative journey to make a film exploring personal heritage and identity. Selected producers will be invited to an in-person Bootcamp in Swindon on the 6th and 7th of November 2021, and to participate in two more virtual Bootcamps. Throughout the programme, you will be supported by a filmmaker mentor to assist your creative journey.
Creative Studios will look at each story submission and will be in touch with 10 budding filmmakers to offer free training this autumn for a mentored production period in the Spring of 2022. All completed films will be part of a touring exhibition around English Heritage properties across the country in Summer 2022. The films will also act as inspiration to hundreds of other young producers responding to a Making My Mark Open Callout next year.
In a 2 minute short film, you will inspire Creative Studio and others with your personal story celebrating your identity and heritage – what makes you, you.
