Cultural film hub

The cultural film hub is funded by our profits & assets. We use company profits to fund our community film hub which allows young people from the RH postal code area gain support in their film career. 

Our cultural film hub is located inside Crawley Museum. We have work & workshop space available.

 

The hub remains open and able to deliver free training to young people because of funds from our commercial profits & grant funding

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Each year we help produce video content for charities and other registered NGO’s. We use our profits to produce content for a discounted fee. 


From September 2023 we will invite a committee panel to help us use our resources to provide free video content for important social projects.  Our chosen focus points will be released in a company statement in January 2023.

ROMEO. HOTEL. ELEVEN
We’re producing a 4-part drama series called ROMEO. HOTEL. ELEVEN. The series is working in connection with multiple different organisations to help provide safer streets in Sussex and deter Young People away from County Line Drug dealing. 

The series stars Rishi Nair (Hollyoaks) and boxer Joseph Parker (Former WBO heavyweight Champion). Our mission was to bring professionals on set with our young learners and help up-skill them by giving them hands on job roles. 

Film Festival

The Crawley Film Initiative will launch Crawley’s first ever film festival in August 2023 called British Cultural Film Festival & Market (BCFF). The festival will be a buyer’s market and see distributors and sales agents from across the globe come together to expand their slate of films. This is a wonderful opportunity to boom local town economy and culture which we hope inspires the next generation of filmmakers.
