Toxteth TV has, for the past five weeks, been running a free film making academy for adults.

The project has been teaching the fundamentals of film making, from basic camera work and editing, to lighting workshops and project development.

With five weeks remaining, the weekly, 4-hour academy now has its sights set on producing a short film for submission to a local festival – the first big step in any new filmmakers’ career.

The academy makes full use of the facilities at Toxteth TV, offering the students a wide range of technical equipment and physical space in which to find their creativity, act on their ideas, and have a lot of fun at the same time.
