LocalEyes Screenschool

Screenschool is a programme of learning about and making film by VOMOII.

A series of monthly masterclasses for young filmmakers will be delivered by an industry specialist with each session focusing on a different area of the filmmaking process.

The first sessions in each area will be facilitated by award winning writer and director, Chris Chapman (The Conkerers). Chris will be helping the groups develop an idea for a film that they will then spend the rest of the year planning and producing.

The host venues for Screenschool activities are...

• Berwickshire - Duns Youth Centre.
• Cheviot - CO2 / Jedburgh.
• Eildon - Rowlands / Selkirk
• Teviot - Hawick Youth Centre
• Tweeddale - Carlops
