New talent enters television production industry

Producing a multi team photoshoot for the likes of Coca Cola USA, Dunlop Sports USA is nothing new to Belfast man Stephen Bradley.
Having recently returned to Belfast after providing his advertising photography talent in Atlanta, USA for 6 years Stephen and his reporting partner Maria Rolston, from Enniskillen, have recently completed production on a documentary under the auspices of the UTV/NIFTC Home project.
The documentary, entitled 'Children¹s Express¹ is based around children who attend Children¹s Express Belfast Bureau and what they achieve from attending the bureau on a regular basis. Children's Express is a US based out of school programme of development and learning through journalism for children aged 8 to 18.
"The moving image and all the emotions that it can create have held an appeal for me for a long time. I could not let the opportunity of working on the Home scheme pass me by. It enabled Maria and myself to avail of the talent and resources of one of the best TV stations in the UK without the overheads involved in making an independent production."
"I am grateful to the NIFTC and UTV for providing Maria and myself with the opportunity to showcase our talents."
'Children's Express' is due to air on UTV in October '02.
