Exciting news – we have uploaded the first 2 films made during last years Young Screenwriters project – Home alone and Despair of the Slayer. Home Alone was written by a group of young people at Manning School for Girls who worked with Jamie Rhodes from Donkey Stone Films to adapt the short story Home Alone by Robbie Gibbons for screen. The 2nd film, Despair of the Slayer was written by a group of young people from Claremont Primary School, again working with Jamie, Steve Little from Broadway and Film Director Steven Sheil. They used the short story The Blood Market by Alan Gibbons as inspiration and came up with their own story.
