CFI Academy

Our new film academy aims at training young people from 11 – 25 years of age. Programs under the academy will be Meet Your Filmmaker & Saturday Film Club. 

Meet Your Filmmaker (MYF)

The Meet Your Filmmaker program gives training, support & mentoring to a cohort of young filmmakers between 16-25 years of age. This program is aimed at those who are showing a real talent for filmmaking. The aim of this program is to give in-depth training to a group of young filmmakers and partner them up with community projects. 

 

These projects will give opportunity for young filmmakers to up-skill, get hands on experience and develop further. Young people on this program get paid for working on these projects so we see this program as a pathway for young people to progress into the film industry. 

 

First year cohort launches on the 13th of November 2023. If you’d like to be considered for this program please do apply with your CV, showreel (not a requirement) & a cover letter to – training@crawleyfilm.org

Testimonials

"We worked with Crawley Film Initiative as part of our half term workshop week - Spotlight at The Hawth Theatre. It was a great partnership with theatre and film coming together to provide a brilliant workshop for our local young performers looking to work in the entertainment industry. CFI provided expert knowledge and direction that enabled our participants to get some real experience in filming a scene as well as seeing the final product projected on screen. They also filmed and edited our showreels from the auditions at the end of the week, which were excellent and very professionally finished. What I love most about this collaboration is seeing the fantastic opportunities that have since been established for our members as a result of working with Callum and CFI. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning more about getting involved in film to get in touch!"
