YOUNG PEOPLE'S TRAINING
CORE TRAINING
Core Training
We currently offer 3 practical training projects a year from our core site, The Reed Centre, based out of Ladbroke Grove.
Our ethos is centred around learning through practical activity with each training project culminating in the production of either a short film or promo video.
Project Training Schedule
February to May - Short Film Project 1
June to August - Short Film Project 2
September to November - Promo Project
The sessions are delivered by skilled staff and industry professionals, with core sessions on Thursdays evenings, making it accessible for young people at school and college. Furthermore, we provide continued access to test and use our industry standard equipment from our site, giving the young people the chance to have consistent exposure to the tools that can help develop their skills.
