Digitally Born Kids
This young peoples film festival began in late 2004 when a group of young people came together to form a committee named DIGITALLY BORN KIDS. Our aim was to create a film festival for young people and to ensure that young people made all decisions about the festival.
The committee set out and with the aid of JUNK TV began fundraising, organising a venue, searching for young people films, creating fliers, promoting the day and preparing the awards ceremony.
After many months of planning the first Digitally Born Kids film festival took place in the Sallis Benny Theatre in Brighton on the 27th March 2005.
The day was a big hit and despite the fact it had to take place on Easter Sunday the festival pulled in a crowd of 150 people, above the expected total.
Now in 2006 the committee are back to work but I have had to step down out of the committee as you may only be eligible to be a committee member if you are eighteen and I turned nineteen shortly after the festival in 2005.
All was not lost though, now I facilitate the young people as the JUNK TV representative facilitator and aid the committee through the long and difficult process of putting on the festival.
The date is set...
The fliers have gone out...
The venue is booked...
We have received the films for the day...
The competition has a winner...
The Award winners have been decided...
The competition winners have created the awards...
Screening 01 is complete...

I'll be around the office tomorrow to share contact details for people you should invite to the festival. Maybe also do a search for other Y.People's film festivals to create links and share film.
It would be good for you to start developing a modular plan for the next festival as discussed before. Think of the festival as a series of stages and plan each stage out and try to match funders to stages.
Anyway, first off, once this festival is done, build into your evaluation a modular plan for the next one.
cheers,
Si.
