Young West Midlanders have taken part in a scheme seeking to unearth budding script-writing and film storytelling talent.
The project was set up by BBC Studios Drama Productions and the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) along with City of Wolverhampton College, Walsall Studio School and Solihull College and University Centre.
It has given 60 young people a unique opportunity to create script and film content alongside BBC professionals using state of the art equipment.
After taking part in a BBC Studios Drama Productions screenwriting master class, students are set up to take on key roles in production, filming and acting to produce three inspirational and poignant films around the themes of an emotive drama, a psychological thriller and a grounded sci-fi drama.
The completed short films were showcased at a ‘red carpet’ style premiere event at Millennium Point (on 24 June) with the learners and their families, key project partners and the Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, in the audience.
