🎬🔥 MIDWAY THROUGH OUR Active Essex Underdog Crew SUMMER FILM-LAB… AND TODAY WE CALLED ACTION! 🔥🎬 After spending the first half of our Film-Lab learning the theory, craft and magic of filmmaking, today our young filmmakers took a HUGE step forward…🎥 They started shooting their very own SHORT HORROR FILM! 👻😱

Our members stepped onto a live working set, alongside professional crew, getting hands-on with professional filmmaking equipment and experiencing what it's actually like to bring a story from the page to the screen. Watching that theory suddenly become REAL was awesome. ❤️

🎬 Learning the filmmaking process
🎥 Working with professional crew & equipment
🎭 Bringing characters and performances to life
👻 Shooting an original horror film
🤝 Learning teamwork, responsibility and communication
💪 Building confidence by actually DOING IT

That's the Underdog way. We don't just tell young people what they could achieve. We put the tools in their hands and let them discover what they're capable of. 💙

🍂🎬 AUTUMN FILM-LAB - BOOKINGS NOW OPEN!

Our next Film-Lab will be running from our NEW HALSTEAD VENUE, and we're now taking registrations. Want your young filmmaker involved?

📧 [email protected]
🎬 Find your voice.
🤝 Find your tribe.
🔥 Make something bloody brilliant.
