The media is a powerful influence in today's world. Young people are constantly being bombarded with different messages, what to buy, who to try and be, how their body should look...in short, how to live their life. Whether conscious of this or not, the media is often the first place a young person would look for advice and guidance as well as information and entertainment. YouTube for example holds the creativity and thoughts of millions of young people. This provides a massive platform for us to relevantly engage with young people in this media savvy generation.

We want to hear the stories that have shaped the young people we work with and encourage them to think about a hope for the future in a safe environment. Allowing them to re-imagine their futures and hope for something more. Film school aims to use the media to be a positive influence on the lives of young people.
