Projecting Stoke
Projecting Stoke was a film-based scheme involving different communities in Stoke-on-Trent. Produced by Hi8us Midlands Ltd, working in collaboration with professional filmmakers, the chosen participants developed, organised, directed and shot a number of short films.

Through a series of workshops and one to one mentoring sessions the scheme supported and encouraged new talent from the community, enabling them to express their experiences, lives and views through short film. The scheme resulted in 21 films involving 125 people across an 18 month perod in which participants learnt skills such as storyboarding, filming and editing. |

The films, which have received both national and international screenings, include Labyrinth Arts' 30-minute environmental Zombie Movie Out of Space, described by young filmmakers as one of the most rewarding things they have been involved in. Another work from the Stansfield Youth Inclusion Project came forth in Robbie William's international Film competition, which received over 170 entries. |
