Make Your Cut

That's A Wrap!

Calling all young prospective filmmakers: 2025’s Make Your Cut has now finished, but keep an eye on our socials and here for updates on the next project.

Make Your Cut is a week-long, hands-on filmmaking project for young enthusiasts run by inspiring local filmmakers Broden Salmon and Tom Parkinson.

After the success of the project in 2023, we’re delighted to have brought it back for 2025 to continue helping young people advance their creative skills without financial barriers.

The project gave six applicants aged 16-19 the chance to go behind the camera and spend a week as a videographer. Everyone was involved in everything from pre-production, script development and filming all elements through to the finished film, which will be screened at The Grand Venue later this year.

Participants came away having developed and honed their skills and experience in filmmaking and met other young filmmakers in their area.

Please note, applications have now closed for 2025, but feel free to leave your details for the next project.

When? 

The programme will run from Monday 7th until Saturday 12th April 2025, approximately 10am-4pm each day, so you’ll need to be free during that week.  

Who? 

Applicants must live in or have a strong connection with the local area and must be aged 16-19 at the time of the project. You’ll also need to be passionate about filmmaking and hungry to learn more. 

Where? 

The project will be hosted here at The Grand in Clitheroe but then will be shot on location wherever is decided during the sessions. Any transport will be provided during shooting. 

How much does it cost? 

Make Your Cut is free to all successful applicants. The only cost to you will be your time. All equipment will be provided.
