One more round

Project: "One More Round”

Objective: "One More Round" is the result of a comprehensive series of workshops in filmmaking and photography designed to engage over 20 young people from two conflicted London boroughs.

Purpose: The project's primary aim was to bring together young individuals from challenging backgrounds and motivate them to actively participate in the creation of a short film that provides a unique perspective on gang culture as seen through their own eyes.

Duration: The entire project spanned nearly 6 months, allowing participants to embark on a transformative creative journey.

Workshop Topics: The project covered a wide range of filmmaking and storytelling topics, including:

- Scriptwriting

- Acting workshops

- Camera techniques

- Sound production

- Film storytelling

- The art of editing

-Empowerment: Through these workshops, the young participants acquired valuable skills and knowledge, enabling them to craft their own film that explores their perceptions of gang culture and delves into the complexities hidden beneath the surface.

- Result: "One More Round" is a testament to the power of creative expression and the capacity of young people to articulate their experiences and perspectives on the intricate issue of gang culture. It not only empowered them but also provided a platform for their voices to be heard, fostering dialogue and understanding within the broader community.

I think this is one of the most rewarding projects I have ever directed.
