This is another film written by young people for the Young Screenwriters project. This is a catholic school with a fantastic old church location attached to their school. I worked with the whole class to write and shoot a horror genre film using this location.

This film was made as part of Broadway and Nottingham Central EIPs Young Screenwriters project. The film was adapted to the screen by a group of young people from Manning School for Girls in Nottingham. They adapted the script from the short story "Home Alone" by Robbie Gibbons working with Jamie Rhodes from Donkey Stone Films. The film was then directed by Horror film maker Steven Sheil. Young Screenwriters is designed to raise language and literacy skills in young people.

This film was made as part of Broadway and Nottingham Central EIPs Young Screenwriters project. The film is based on a short story called The Blood Market by Alan Gibbons and was written by a group of children at Claremont Primary School working with Jamie Rhodes from Donkey Stone Films. Horror film maker Steven Sheil was commissioned to direct the film which was shot on location at the school and at Thoresby Hall. Young Screenwriters develops young people's language and literacy skills through screenwriting and filmmaking.

These two schools worked in partnership, one had an interesting conservation area that the school wanted the young people to think creatively about. I worked with this group for several weeks developing a script, Donkey Stone Films then worked with the young people to shoot the film. In this project I also got Costume design practitioners on board to work with the young people to design and make costumes for their film.

In this film, young people from Dunkirk Primary school worked with me to write a script that required them to research their local heritage and draw upon literature they had studied in previous terms. I split the class into groups, each group took a local historic location and wrote a scene as a film script. The main character is Jim from the children's novel "Street Child", who has to follow clues on a quest to save his friend Barney from an evil Zombie. The genre the schools chose for this project was Horror.
