Young Farmers Filmmaking Group – Expression of Interest
Thank you for your interest in joining the Young Farmers Filmmaking Group. Rural Media, in partnership with the Environment Agency, is looking for a small group of young farmers aged 16–30 to make short films about the issues shaping the future of farming. You do not need any previous filmmaking experience. You will receive hands-on training and support to develop, shoot and edit your own short film, with opportunities for the finished films to reach national audiences through social media and agricultural press. Training and filming will take place across 5 days in spring, with food and travel costs covered. This short form is simply to register your interest. We will use your answers to understand a little more about you and the stories you are interested in, and to make sure the opportunity is suitable for you.
