🎬 FILMMAKING OPPORTUNITY!
This year, Next Take - a youth-led filmmaking organisation based in North Ayrshire - is entering pre-production on a new educational short filmmaking project aimed at those aged 16-25! The project follows on from the creation of our award-winning film, Piece of Mind, which you can watch on our YouTube!
🎥 Who is this for?
- If you live in Scotland and you’re interested in telling stories through film and developing your experience and skills on any aspect of filmmaking – this project is for you.
- Led by a passionate team of young filmmakers and young industry professionals, building networks and meeting like-minded people is at the heart of what we do.
- As young people ourselves, we understand how challenging it can be to pursue creative ambitions and bridge the gap between learning and professional work. This project is designed by young people actively navigating that journey, to support others in the same position and help make that transition more accessible.
- The project is open to those with or without experience, with opportunities suited to a range of interests, skill levels, and personal goals.
The project will be structured like a real film production, with additional dedicated time for workshops, teaching, and development as we progress.
🌟 Choose an area of filmmaking
As part of the project, you’ll be able to focus on an area that suits your interests:
🎭 Acting - Work with a BAFTA award-winning actor to develop performance skills and bring characters to life
🎬 Visual Development - Plan shots, scenes, and camera work

🎨 Production Design - Bring the setting and world of the film to life.
