Our Future Filmmakers competition brief was to develop and idea for a 60-second short film that highlights the power of digital storytelling, pupils were encouraged to enter in teams of between 4-10 pupils based on a variety of scenario ideas. The winners had the opportunity to be a film team for the day by working with Ocean City Media to turn their idea into a real-life film.
