Kent's young filmmakers are about to embark on an epic journey! They're being given the incredible opportunity to create a full-length medieval fantasy film from scratch. But this isn't just any film project; it's a chance for these young talents to shine in front of and behind the camera, all while exploring the magic of medieval times.
The Stag Youth Theatre project is set to welcome around 40 aspiring filmmakers, providing them with an unforgettable experience. Simon Cossons, the theater's dedicated leader for 16 years, expressed his enthusiasm, calling it their most ambitious project yet.
With a £2,000 grant from Sevenoaks Town Council, the production will have the resources it needs, including props, costumes, and equipment. And the filming locations? Picture the stunning landscapes of Kent as the backdrop to this medieval adventure.
But here's where it gets exciting for the local community: the film will premiere at the Stag in Sevenoaks, giving everyone a chance to witness the creativity of these young artists. Councillor Chloe Gustard is eager to see the results, and so are we!
This project is a testament to the power of nurturing young talent and providing them with platforms to express their creativity. And who knows, it might just be the first step towards discovering the next big name in cinema. So, are you ready to witness the magic these young filmmakers will create? The journey begins in January 2026, and we can't wait to see the medieval masterpiece they bring to life!
