The Raise Your Cards - FRRR ABC - Heywire Project asks young people to tell their story and share their experience with mental health.
To complete our project we will be creating a film that allows young people to express themselves creatively.
We are calling for young people to express interest in the following roles:
- Movie Stars/Talent Extraordinaires: Anyone who would like to share their story creatively, through film, music, art, dance, the choice is yours!
- Film Crew: Anyone who would like some experience behind the scenes on a real film shoot - it could be camera, sound, editing, directing, costumes, hair+make-up, location scout!
- Helping Hands: Anyone who would like to be involved, it could be to do with organisation, event planning, marketing, all the behind-the-scenes jobs that allow a film shoot to run smoothly!
Young people who have a story to share, but don't want to be recognised are still able to apply, as all participants will be linked with a creative mentor to explore how they can best represent their experience on film.
