Two films to be made by young filmmakers from Swindon have received funding from First Light, the UK Film Council’s young people’s filmmaking initiative. Pioneers tells the story of a young girl and boy who encounter famous figures from the past who encourage them to fight for their identity. The film will be made by 30 10 – 11 tear olds working with Mobile Media Club based in Swindon.

Mobile Media Club will also make Transitions, a documentary about the differences between primary and secondary school. The documentary involves 20 10 -11 year olds. Mobile Media Club will receive an £18,000 award from First Light to make the two films.
