Film Production
Actionwork creates and produces digital quality films both in the UK and abroad. We are a small production house ideally suited to small organisations, schools, colleges or those working on a low budget. We have considerable experience making films with young people
For more details of the films we make with young people please follow this link
Films we have made with young people have been shown at a variety of venues, including on the internet and at the National Film Theatre (NFT1). In 2006 we streamed a live 2-day youth conference over the internet which was made available all over the world.
For schools and youth clubs we offer the service of creating films with your young people. These film projects engage young people in a very active way and helps them produce high quality films on subjects they and you want. The process includes teaching them how to use a camera, sound and lighting techniques, interviewing skills, directing, acting, creating scripts and engaging with other young people in the school or youth club. Using this process we can work with hard to reach young people including those at risk of exclusion and/or those seen as marginalised in a variety of ways.
Films produced by Actionwork can help you promote work in your school, youth club, local authority or organisation. They also offer your students or members a chance to learn new skills, have fun and be involved in a projects where the process is just as important as the final product.
Recent Projects include: 'Making the Difference' a film tackling bullying for the Department of Education and Skills (DfES) from a young persons point of view.
