The pilot project is to demonstrate the applicability of the Kildare Young Filmmakers model for a Youth Film Organisation, based on experience working in Youth Film and a need for such an organisation in Limerick. This will include a series of masterclasses and sessions designed to equip participants with a support structure to develop ambitious short films as well as mentoring.
