What we do?
Young Film Academy are a UK based leading provider of filmmaking education to young people aged 8-19. Our focus is on fiction filmmaking and we believe passion for the things you excel at starts early (Steven Spielberg made his first film aged 12!).
Our tutors are industry professionals and we also work with professional filmmaking equipment to give the most relevant training possible. Our courses cover a cross section of skills including screenwriting, cinematography, directing and editing with practical experience at the core of how we teach. We also run courses for budding screen actors to develop their craft and get real on-screen experience! We have recently developed a range of in-depth live remote courses which we are running during the time of COVID-19.
Why we do it?
In a time of rapid development within technology, we believe in the importance of nurturing talent from a young age! Our work starts from age 5 where were run filmmaking parties for mini movie stars right up to age 19 where we provide real hands-on training to give young people relevant experience and guidance to those looking to pursue a career in the Film & TV industry.
Many young people are already producing content with devices they already have at their fingertips such as mobile phones and we want to enable them take things to the next level! We also strongly believe in the additional benefits the process of filmmaking bring to young people such as the building of confidence and teamwork/communication skills.
