Scriptwriting
Well, our two silent movie scripts are well on the way to completion and they are looking great.
Paul Arrowsmith spent last Sunday with our writing team looking over the first drafts. For our writers it was an opportunity to discuss with a superb script editor how make their scripts even better.
Paul is preparing to write his final script notes as we get ready for the big push into production. It's exciting to think that between now and the next round of auditions in Goole on June 10th, lots of hard work is being done behind the scenes.
See what Paul Arrowsmith had to say about his working with our young writers.
Goole Arts Officer, Nicola Dixon, took a group of young people to an International Youth Theatre festival in Poland. One of the items in the festival was a showing of Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid'. The young people enjoyed the film so much they began thinking about creating our own silent film based on the history of our local area.
Following a successful funding bid to Heritage Lottery Fund the young people helped recruit and chose three professionals: David Bunting (animator), Peter M Kershaw (producer and film-maker) and Madeleine Frost (dramatist)
