Film in a Week

Every summer since 2014 The Talent Shack have run week long film making courses for young people with film maker, Josh Ellul. An Easter course was added a few years ago which is back for 2025! We have made horror films, cowboy films, silent comedies, thrillers, film noir style detective movies, reality TV gameshows, and a scene by scene remake of Georges Melies’ A Trip to the Moon, with scenery and costumes! With access to professional equipment and having The Talent Shack building to work in, supported by a team of teachers and professionals, this really is a unique opportunity for budding performers, film makers and anyone interested in how films are made. Highlights of the week are the cinema history pop quiz and learning about classic cinema.

Suitable for ages 12-18 but will accept 10 and 11 year olds who are really passionate about cinema and film making.

Easter – Film in a ‘short” Week 14th – 17th April with Josh. Make a film in the first week of the Easter holidays. Monday to Thursday. £139.60 for 4 days, 10-4pm.

August 18 – 22 Film in a Week Monday – Friday, 10am – 4pm £174.50

With a screening for family and friends on the last day in our own theatre.

BOOKING

Celebrating 10 years of Film in a Week with Everyman Cinema

Sunday 18th May, 10.30am

Everyman Cinema, Cardiff Bay, have very excitingly put on an event just for us! They are screening a montage of all the films we have made with young people over the last 10 years plus Charlie Chaplin’s classic City Lights. This is one of Chaplin’s shorter feature films and is considered the greatest film of all time. As part of our film making weeks we look at early cinema and silent comedies so this is an apt choice for us!

To be part of this event you just need to RSVP. We will prioritise our Talent Shack families, those that have made films with us, plus those in our classes who love to support what we do. We will email the link to RSVP but if you don’t get it by all means get in touch with us in all the usual ways and we can help.

Thank you Everyman Cinema!!
