Reflections in Film: Filmmaking Project for Young People

Posted on by Ellen McNeill

 Reflections in Film: Telling Your Story 

A chance to explore your identity through the media of film

 What is the project? 

Reflections in Film is a project run by Mal Fraser that invites young people to creatively express themselves by experimenting with different filmmaking techniques to capture their unique perspective on who they are and how they see the world.

Over 12 weeks, you’ll dive into various aspects of filmmaking, from storytelling and camera work to editing and sound design. Each week offers a new opportunity to develop your skills and explore a different creative process in a way that feels authentic to you. By the end of the project, you’ll have the chance to create your own short film.

This project is about discovering new ways to tell your story and gaining filmmaking skills along the way. If you’re ready to get started, sign up and join a group of like-minded young creators ready to explore their voices through film.
