@WelshDragonParr @bedwashighsch @DrewHamley @expressiveartsb @KidsBloomsbury Of course! Thanks so much for getting in touch. Pop us an email: [email protected]. We finished the second day today, with students trying their hand at editing as well as acting out the iconic "baked beans" scene.

Had a blast at @bedwashighsch today scripting & shooting a film trailer for Where the River Takes Us by fabulous Welsh author @WelshDragonParr. It's part of our "Reboot Reading" programme which is working to tackle the post-pandemic reading decline.

Watch this space for the trailer which, if today's workshop participants get their way, will include a bull, a dead body, a garage on fire, a cat which turns into a panther, a car crash and a wig...

Many thanks to @bedwashighsch for hosting us today, especially Lianne Francis for arranging everything and the head, Stephen Diehl, for saying yes to our proposals. Thanks also to @Arts_Wales_ for supporting Bedwas to finance the project.

[Media for Schools @MediaForSchools]

The students were brilliant, brave, creative and patient, and each grabbed with enthusiasm all the roles from concept creation, scriptwriting, storyboarding, camera work, to directing and set work. Strangely enough the most coveted position was boom operator!

[Bedwas High School @bedwashighsch]

We are very excited to announce that we have received funding from the Arts Council for Wales to run a filmmaking project with Media for Schools. Our top readers in year 8 and 9 will be creating something very exciting in April. Watch this space!

Presenting "X", a horror film made by students @Mary_1mmaculate (with a little help from us). Well done to everyone who threw themselves so enthusiastically into making this - some very talented young actors, crew and directors-in-the-making!

Well done to students at Mary Immaculate High School, who have energetically thrown themselves into scriptwriting, storyboarding, acting, filming and editing during a horror-themed Hallowe'en workshop. Keep your eyes peeled for the fantastic result! @Mary_1mmaculate #schools

Students at Mary Immaculate High School in Cardiff acting (and directing!) with great professionalism during the Horror-themed Hallowe'en workshop this term. Keep your eyes peeled for the terrifying results!

[Media for Schools @MediaForSchools]

Students had a blast learning how to run a set, how to take direction and improve their acting, how to work industry-level equipment, and more! Looking forward to Day 2 and finishing the film!
