Local Volunteering Ops: Calling Walthamstow's next Alfred Hitchcocks.. & Academy Seeks Governor

This week I have been sent details of two volunteering opportunities. Firstly, a local resident led group is looking for several local part time volunteers (unpaid) to assist in the creation of a short documentary film. Filming will take place in the Hoe Street Central pop up shop in August. 

 

Volunteers will engage with the local community, researching interesting characters to invite to the shop; assist in the production side including the filming/photography process; and develop their filmmaking & photography skills under the guidance of mentors who are all acclaimed local filmmakers working in the industry.

 

The film is being created as part of The Reel Walthamstow Moving Image Commission. (Commissioned by WF Council and funded by Hill Development). It will be premiered at Walthamstow's new Empire Cinema in late 2014. Volunteers need  not be experienced but have bags of enthusiasm, confidence to communicate with people and an interest to learn about filmmaking and/or photography. For more information and details of how to get involved please visit the website.

 

Secondly, there is a School Governor position available at Walthamstow Academy. For more details about this please contact PrincipalEmma Skae or phone 020 8527 3750.
