Good Afternoon Everyone. As well as the good news about Macbeth, we will, in the next few weeks, have some exciting news about Fortune Cookies. In the meantime, we would wholeheartedly appreciate any love for @screennorthants on this insta post https://t.co/BHrpy2MCXF Thanks
GM. We will be creating social media specifically for "Fortune Cookies" in the coming weeks. It is necessary for what is happening with the film. Please follow, subscribe, like and/or share depending on the platform. Announcement as to what is happening is COMING SOON!!!!
Screen Northants have had a great start to 2026 and our social media is going to be more active with announcements about Macbeth, Fortune Cookies and the plan for Sept. If you were involved with those films or want to be involved in future projects, updates will be COMING SOON!!!
We have some positive news to talk about with regards future film production and we will hopefully be talking about it next few weeks. We will of course attempt to cast & crew with as many local people as possible so feel free to send CVs/Showreels to [email protected].
We have also been talking music for upcoming films and had some very interesting conversations. One that was particularly positive was with singer songwriter Vince Freeman. He has just released an album and every song feels like it could be from a Rom Com or an emotional drama.
@olivervilas1@dougiebrimson@Jedshepherd We see the same concerns. It is also fuelled by schools who are not aware of the changing job market and scale of the creative and culture sector.
@dougiebrimson@olivervilas1@Jedshepherd I agree that age should not be a barrier and we recognise that there is a lost generation. We hope that the model we have created will break that cycle. It will create a level playing field, where the only thing that matters is work ethic.
@dougiebrimson@Jedshepherd We don’t focus on any particular minority group. Our aim to create a meritocracy of opportunity so that no matter what the obstacles someone has as youngster, they have the chance to reach their fullest potential.
@dougiebrimson@Jedshepherd That is a major disadvantage yes. But there are other underrepresented demographics that we try and affect positive changes with also.
@Jedshepherd We absolutely do and it can be done. We had 70 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds get experience on a feature thats in the final stages of Post. We hope other film makers follow suit and we can improve things from the ground up.
As you can see from the poster, the film won many fantastic awards. The film was selected to many more festivals and was shortlisted for awards in almost every category.
