SCRBBLED CINEMA SERIES

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this and for your faith in me.
Being in the arts is a compulsion and privilege where the road is never easy - so not having to travel it alone is a Blessing - capital ‘B’!
On to the show!...
SCRBBLED CINEMA - WHAT IS IT?
SCRBBLED CINEMA is a YouTube series in which young filmmakers explore the techniques of filmmaking by crafting and shooting scenes on-the-spot, start-to-finish, with little time and no-budget.
In each episode, a filmmaker is tasked to film a scene under these circumstances:
- It’s shot in ONE ROOM with limited props, set and time.
- He/she must highlight the cinematic THEME or TECHNIQUE chosen for that episode (e.g. camera movement, tone, sound, etc.).
- He/she must adhere to restrictive PROMPTS randomly selected on the day.
THE PURPOSE:
SCRBBLED CINEMA's purpose is to create an online space of PLAY and LEARNING that supports the VISION and VOICE of our audience.
We want our audience to feel EMPOWERED by exploration, to be UNAFRAID of challenge, and to work with the resources they have rather than be discouraged by what they don't.
SCRBBLED CINEMA is also a platform that supports DIVERSE voices that aren't always centered by bigger institutions (particularly when it comes to being behind-the-scenes).
