Future Film Makers Win 2012 Showcase

British Film stars Nicholas Hoult, Georgia Groome and Thomas Sangster have announced a major new UK-wide film competition for budding film makers.
Young film makers can win a chance to get their work showcased at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games through the competition titled Film Nation: Shorts.
The winners’ work will be screened at the iconic venues of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London 2012 to an audience of millions. The best films will also be showcased on giant London 2012 live site screens around the UK, on the London 2012 website, and on a dedicated Film Nation website.
The programme will include young people’s workshops across the UK offering hands-on experience in filming techniques using state-of-the-art Panasonic equipment.
Ruth Mackenzie, Director of the Cultural Olympiad commented: "This programme will deliver a powerful message about our intentions for the Cultural Olympiad. Young people and their creative power are developed and celebrated and, with the support of our partners Panasonic and the Olympic Lottery Distributor, will be brought right into the heart of the 2012 Games.
"I want to take this opportunity to pay personal tribute to our partners and colleagues at the UK Film Council, Screen West Midlands and First Light for the work they have done with us in the creation and development of Film Nation: Shorts. Their inspirational support has been pivotal in realising our ambition to reach out to young people everywhere through the medium of film."
