The idea
'Angeline' is a heartfelt short film created by the pupils of Dallas Road Primary School in collaboration with Lancaster Film Initiative and Ian Martin. This inspiring project empowers children to take charge of the creative process, from scriptwriting to acting, offering them a hands-on introduction to the arts. The film will beautifully capture Lancaster's rich history while spotlighting the remarkable talent of young, imaginative minds. Building on the success of our previous film "TIG!", which debuted at the Dukes in Lancaster to public acclaim, we are once again uniting the community around this meaningful artistic endeavour. This project not only boosts children's confidence and teamwork skills but also opens doors to potential creative careers. Join us as we continue working with our community to host events and expand access to the arts. Watch this space—something truly extraordinary is on the horizon!
