About Clubs

What on earth is a screen club?

This is a fair question. Organisations like this are rare which is what we’re looking to change!

A screen club is a grassroots space where teens with an interest in filmmaking can make their own films or shows with like-minded peers. Members gain access to professional equipment, industry mentors and a budget to help make their ideas happen.

Opportunities to get involved occur at least twice a year. Each school semester, the club runs one production per age group (12-13yo or 14-18yo), with signups for cast and crew roles advertised in advance.

Productions are run by teens!

Before each semester begins, the club holds pitching sessions where teens (whether they’re a member or not!) are free to create and present an original concept for a film or show. The best concept is then chosen to be that semester’s production and the creator becomes the producer and/or director. Successful ideas are provided professional filmmaking equipment, a budget, a crew of other members, mentorship and the support to complete the project.
