Get creative and turn your ideas into your own short film, created and directed by you!
Learn professional filmmaking skills, try out legendary presenter Charlie Witherspoon’s retro interviewing style, and make films that will be added to Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive.
Past meets present in a camp full of creativity, cameras, and tech!
