What happens when you give a group of young people a camera, and ask them to make a film? Here’s what.
Kris Deedigan, founder of My Life Productions on how:
- Drama and film is safe and effective place to explore difficult issues and behaviours.
- We use film to give a voice to people who are under represented.
- Community arts and film making reduces crime and anti social behaviour and allows young people to explore their lives and mental health.
- Stories help use resolve conflicts.
