YOUTH CLUB IS A DARK COMEDY CENTRING ON LOU - A TRAUMATISED 40-SOMETHING DESPERATE TO ENGAGE LOCAL TEENAGERS WITH HER YOUTH CLUB.
YOUTH CLUB WAS COMMISSIONED BY EXETER PHOENIX IN MAY 2025 AND WAS PREMIERED AT THE TWO SHORT NIGHTS FESTIVAL IN MARCH 2026, WHERE WE WON THE AUDIENCE AWARD!
THIS FILM IS INTENDED AS A COMMUNITY PROJECT, AND A WAY TO MEET THE YOUNG ACTORS OF EXETER. I LOVE CREATING ART WITH YOUNG PEOPLE.
YOUTH CLUB IS AN EXTREMELY AMBITIOUS YOUTH FILM PROJECT. WE HAVE INVOLVED:
- 14 YOUNG ACTORS AGED 15-22 FROM EXETER SCHOOL, COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY
- TEN (MAINLY OUTDOORS) LOCATIONS
A FIRST-TIME LEAD ACTRESS
ALONGSIDE PROFESSIONAL LOCAL FILMMAKERS TO CREATE A HIGH QUALITY SHORT FILM.
WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IN-KIND SPONSORSHIP FROM EXETER’S HOTEL MONTROUGE BY SUNDAY.
BUT WE DO NEED
MORE HELP!
PARTICIPANTS HAVE GAINED KEY SKILLS IN:
Acting for camera
Set protocols & continuity
Teamwork & resilience
Real-world creative industry experience
AS A SPONSOR YOU WILL :
Help local young people develop skills and confidence
Be associated with creative excellence in Exeter
Gain visibility in the community and online
Receive credit in the film and at screenings

… BUT IT IS ‘TRICKY’ TO SHOOT OUTDOORS. WE ALSO HAD DOWN POURING RAIN, BUILDING WORKS, NOISY NEARBY DENTISTS’ HEATING SYSTEMS, AND DISRUPTED EQUIPMENT)…..
