What an incredible time we have had working with & on the ‘Set the Stage’ initiative. 16 talented young creatives joined our filmmaking team in Suffolk to create their own film alongside a BAFTA and award-winning team including , , , , , ! Students even got a chance to shoot with which was an unforgettable experience🌟

Despite battling with rainfall on the final day of shooting, these talented filmmakers of the future finished filming their short film ‘Setting Sail’, to be released next year! From writing and makeup, to directing and shooting, the ‘Set the Stage’ participants completed an incredible film in just a few days. Immensely excited to see what is to come for these rising stars 🎬
