My Partnership With Into Film

Over the past year, I’ve been a part of a talent development program at a film education charity called ‘Into Film’. Into Film is a film charity which seeks to put film at the heart of children and young people’s learning, contributing to their cultural, creative and personal development. They create lots of great content for all sorts of young film fans. The website features many reviews of newly released films, exclusive interviews with the stars as well as many great short films made by kids and teenagers alike.

It all started way back in February 2014 when I applied for a talent development program run by Into Film. Three months after I sent my auditions and applications, I travelled down to London to meet the team over at Into Film and have a try-out session with them. It was easily one of the most productive and enjoyable days that I’ve ever had! I’ve met a lot of great people who had many of the same interests and aspirations that I had!

 About a month later, I was accepted into their community and my first assignment was to attend a screening to 2014’s, Earth to Echo, two months prior to its release. The screening was held at London in a private theatre where many guests we’re attending.  

Being a part of the Into Film community is such a huge honour. I felt as if I was able to further express my love for film better than ever. As of right now, I’m doing another assignment for them. I’m reviewing three movies based on the theme of ‘Robots and Artificial Intelligence’ and then writing a 300 word report on what I learnt from watching them, which one was my favourite and why, whether it made want to watch more films or not and if it made me appreciate science and technology.

As of right now, I’m planning to study film-making once I finish my GCSE’s and go to college. I’m not sure about what the future will hold for me, but I can assure you that whatever I do, it will have something to do with my love for the world of film.
