This September SKAMM is raising money towards their return trip to Shetland for the most northerly film festival in the UK to collaborate on a film with fellow young film makers Maddrim Media.
This project is preparing for fundraising. Click Like to show your support, or Follow for updates on this project's journey.
SKAMM will travel to Shetland on the 4th September for three nights, spending their time between Screenplay and cultural Shetland activities, designed and led by Maddrim Media's young people. During the trip SKAMM will create a short film with Maddrim Media, as well as conducting interviews with festival guests and a making a video blog of their trip to share with other young people in Edinburgh.
We will travel by train from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, then taking the 12 hr ferry overnight to Shetland. Staying in basic camping accommodation and cooking together, we are doing everything to make the trip cost effective.
The festival is even offering a special screenwriting workshop for SKAMM and Maddrim to take part in together.
The project will enable young people from Edinburgh to have a whole new cultural experience as they visit Shetland for the film festival.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This exchange is a fantastic idea because it is bringing together young people who share a passion for film making.
It is a wonderful opportunity for SKAMM members to experience something new, and take away skills and new friends.
It will enrich both groups experiences of film festivals and knowledge of the industry through the chance to network, attend workshops and watch film.
This will all be enhanced by the intimate nature of Screenplay, dubbed the UK's friendliest film festival.
The chance to attend the Edinburgh International Film Festival is a wonderful opportunity for SKAMM's young people, but is often overwhelming given its scale.
The Shetland film festival will give them a chance to get in there and really experience the festival without this anxiety.
Collaborating with Maddrim Media, the youth film making group in Shetland, will mean they can learn from each other and enjoy meeting new young people with similar interests.

VolunteerScottish Kids Are Making Movies (SKAMM) is a young persons film making group based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
We meet weekly throughout the year to develop and make films thought up by our members.
SKAMM is a charity set up to support young people with an interest in film making, and aspirations of working in the film industry or studying film making. We provide proffesional equipment, support and a meeting space for young people to collaborate on projects. As well as having workshops and masterclasses with industry profffesionals and working outwith the Filmhouse in remote or often deprived areas of the city through our outreach programme.
This year SKAMM is embarking on an exchange with fellow youth film makers Maddrim Media, who are from the Shetland Isles. This June Maddrim Media joined SKAMM for a weekend with full industry passes to the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Together they experienced film premieres, quizzed proffesionals, excelled at networking, collaborated on a short film and had a great time. Now SKAMM is raising money for the return trip to Shetland this September where our young people will have the chance to travel the 12 hour boat journey to the most northerly film festival in the UK, Screenplay and experience what Shetland has to offer.
