Creating a Film in a Day with Great Torrington School

Still from "Missing"

Educational Charity Into Film invited North Devon Moving Image to a creative challenge... to support a group of students at Great Torrington School to make a film in a day! 

Written and created by the students, aged between 12 and 14, "Missing" is a chilling drama: "When Lucy goes missing, everyone is trying to pin the blame on others. But while they are doing this, they are completely blind to the reality as to why she’s gone."

The students threw themselves wholeheartedly into the task and demonstrated their creative skills both in front of and behind the camera.

Amanda McCormack, lead film making facilitator for the day, said "For any film to be successful you have to start with a good story and the students wrote a brilliant one!  The young film makers and actors were really professional in their approach to creating their film in a day and I think you'll agree that their hard work has paid off".  Click below to watch the film on the Into Film Shorts YouTube channel.
