Joanna deals primarily with Participatory Educational Projects.
She tends to move slightly more in TV and film participatory remits at this moment in time.
NFM believe that everybody should have or be given the opportunity to participate in the creative film and design worlds, where, barriers are normally set depending upon socio-economic status.
NFM work with a plethora of TV and film companies, whether they community funded schemes, or commercial outfits such as:
· Northern Star Film Academy with the Tyneside Cinema – subsidised by trusts for 15-18 year olds, working up to making a short film within 6 months to create scripts etc, then onto a weeks placement.
· Women’s film academy - shows how film academy can be used in another way. Women in situations surrounding alcohol abuse, solvent abuse. These women are trained in film skills in order to voice their creativity.
· In partnership with Northumberland Arts Forum and Northumberland County council Children, Young People and Families Unit. Working with Rueben Abraham – using flip cameras. Looking at how families are affected by their family member in prison.
· Media Box - Douglas Hunter can give advice on which route to go down if you need any further help or advice, surrounding where your project should go next, and the kind of organisations that may be of benefit to your project, cause or support.
· FILM: 21st Century Literacy strategy - using film in an educational stance. All aspects of writing, designing and filming in order to create film and documentary, surrounding school subjects on the child’s agenda – making things more emotionally accessible and enjoyable.
