Do you know of any local organisations in the voluntary or public sectors who would like an educational, fundraising or training film made for them for free? Mediatrain, a project within the University, could be exactly what they are looking for!
Mediatrain provides a not-for-profit film production service to these sectors and works with a variety of organisations, giving them access to the University’s broadcast-quality production facilities. Undergraduate students carry out work experience placements with Mediatrain where they work with experienced production teams to produce short films. The students get great experience and the organisations get a fantastic film for free! All films are professionally developed in the University’s media production facilities.
A recent organisation to use the service was LAMP - a Christian charity that supports young homeless people in Luton – and they have secured £5,000 worth of funding as a direct result of showing their Mediatrain film to a community fundraising group!
Mediatrain, in conjunction with Social Stampede, a local production company with a strong track record in broadcasting, also provides a low-cost professional film production service to companies in other sectors; and media sector organisations can benefit from a subsidised internship scheme where recent media graduates are placed in companies for up to three months. This Government supported scheme enables companies, especially SMEs, to develop new projects and fill gaps in their workforce.
