'The Cellar Door'

Pupils from Buckingham Community Middle School & Shoreham College in Shoreham, East Sussex, worked for six days to produce a short horror film called, 'The Cellar Door'.

The film, which was funded by First Light, follows the exploits of a group of students who decide to bunk off a maths test in the school cellar.

The film was produced to a very high standard and was very well received at its grand gala premiere on the evening of 17th September.

'Focus E15'

Junk TV formed a new partnership this year with Focus E15 in Stratford East London. A group of five young people spent six days writing a film, learning production skills, acting, filming and editing a new short film.

The film is about a young man who faces a dilemna; he has fallen deeply in love with a new girlfriend but hasn't yet told her that his previous girlfriend is about to have a baby. To make matters worse, when the baby's born she is diagnosed as being HIV positive.

'L'ane et le Sort Jette' / 'The Donkey & The Spell'
