As part of an exciting new project, Glasgow Film Theatre, Starcatchers and Platform have been given funding by Glasgow City Council to make a short film with nursery pupils from the East End.

Filming will take place throughout February with the finished film premiering at the GFT sometime in late April.

Matt Addicott and Katy Wilson, Starcatchers Associate Artists, will lead on the delivery of the project and are looking for an experienced filmmaker to help.

They’re particularly interested in speaking to filmmakers with experience of live green screen techniques, editing software such as Final Cut Pro and working with young children. We would be keen for the successful applicant to have access to their own equipment as there is only a small budget for hiring materials.

The successful applicant will be expected to help Matt and Katy provide an enjoyable experience for the early-years audiences taking part, whilst also ensuring that a short film with high production values is produced. Once appointed the successful applicant will be consulted at every stage of the creative process.

The fee offered is £1275 for approx 3.5 weeks work in total including editing.

For any further questions, please contact Matt on info@mattaddicott.com

Deadline for applications is Tuesday, 17 January 2012.

This project has been made possible through Glasgow City Council’s Area Committee Grants.
