Are you a young person interested in film and screen production?

Bolton Film Academy, delivered by Creatives Now and National Saturday Club, offers an exciting 15-week project that provides hands-on experience in all aspects of filmmaking. This Saturday Club is designed to spark creativity and develop your skills, from screenwriting and cinematography to editing and visual effects.

Meeting every Saturday at Creatives Now, partner film studios, and on location, you’ll work alongside industry professionals from Sitcom Soldier Studios and Title Productions, create short films, and collaborate with like-minded peers.

As part of the project, the club will have exclusive access to professional film equipment and editing suites, providing members with the tools to create high-quality films and gain hands-on experience with industry-standard technology. This project offers a focused and supportive learning environment.

Throughout the course, you’ll participate in masterclasses with film and TV experts, engage in site-specific sessions, and showcase your work at the National Saturday Club’s Somerset House exhibition in London in July 2027. The films are also screened at the Bolton Film Festival, serving as the anchor for Creative Now’s Youth Strand. Amazon’s Regional Creative Fund proudly sponsors this year’s Bolton Film Academy.
