Participants on Make a Film in a Day courses are given an overview of the whole filmmaking process from EUREKA!, through to ACTION! to IT’S A WRAP! Working in teams, these young filmmakers work against the clock to plan, storyboard, shoot, act and edit their film (complete with sound effects and music)… and by the end of the day their first movie is complete.
Each participant receives a copy of their completed film to keep forever. No previous experience is necessary.
Plus, films made on YFA courses are automatically considered and may be nominated for the ‘Young Film Academy Awards’! The awards ceremony will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 20th September 2025 at the prestigious Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Square, London. Nominated filmmakers will be contacted via their booking contact email prior to the event.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
Nathan had a a fabulous day and was so animated all the way home and is still talking about the film making day – it was the best day of his life so far apparently! Will be back in touch for the 4-Day Film School course for next year.
Sharon Calcott
I never dreamed I could actually MAKE a movie! I felt so proud!
Isabel Elson
Wonderful approach! The course followed out a variety of essential ideas in filmmaking so that pupils are prepared to create their own films from now on! Dividing and sharing tasks was brilliant, because everybody in the team could try standing behind or in front of the camera. My son was delighted with that!”
Luiza Antuaneta Popescu
“Ben had the BEST time on the course!”
Alice Philipps
It was an intense thrill ride, which I will never forget
