Inspiring Barrow project funded Cooke’s Crew is a weekly filmmaking club for 11-16 year olds at Signal Film and Media, now in it’s final year ending April 2016.

It is free to enter and the film can be made in any format. So get out your phones, tablets, cameras or go pro’s and get filming! The only constriction is in length, the minimum is 30 seconds and the maximum no more than 3 minutes. Entries with the filmmaker details are to be sent to info@signalfilmandmedia.co.uk. The deadline is Tuesday 22nd February 2016.
