Mentored by Daniel Elliott.
In the summer of 2014, seventeen young people (aged 15-18) from across Newcastle and Gateshead worked with industry professionals to research, plan and produce four short films about the people, places and stories that make up their world.
Through a series of intensive filmmaking workshops at Tyneside Cinema they developed a variety of skills including storytelling, camera, sound and editing in order to bring their ideas to life.
Jonny and his group chose to tell the story of his cousin, Sam.
