Screen Northants looking for editor and actors and crew

Screen Northants are on the lookout for an editor for their next film, feature length family comedy Fortune Cookies.

Fortune Cookies will be the 3rd feature film to be produced by social enterprise film company Screen Northants. Screen Northants makes features but does so in a non-profit model, supported by BBC Children in Need, where a professional crew also provide workshops and on set experiences for local young disadvantaged people from Northamptonshire to boost their confidence, skills and local pride through Film.

The viewer will not notice the difference in the end result but it allows Screen Northants to make films in a unique way supporting the next generation of talent and allowing unprecedented access to the Film Industry for young people in an area under-represented by Film.

They are supported by the likes of Panavision and Cooke Optics to make our small budgets go a long way.
