The Summer Shoots are underway, the cast and crews are ready to roll and have called Action on their 2024 summer film productions!
This summer, Sparks Film School students taking part in the annual Summer Shoots are busy making their own films inspired by 2024’s theme of The Element of Surprise. In their film crews, they are exploring lots of different creative and technical conventions including plot twists and jump cuts to produce their own unique and surprising films.
During the Summer Shoots, young filmmakers (ages 5-18) join Sparks film crews to make their own films from scratch. They take on all the creative work, as well as all the crew roles, and they star in their movie masterpieces too.
Crew members from Sparks Film School Glasgow led the pack, with young filmmakers all around the UK now joining in from their own film sets.
We’ve been taking a look at what they’ve been up to so far…
