Be in a film
Get involved in a multi-generational film locally
Generations at Hilary’s Hut is a community-led feature film that warmly invites older people connected to Hilary’s Hut to take part in the filming itself. This is not a course, workshop, or programme. There is no long-term commitment and no expectation to take part in every stage of filming. People are welcome to be involved as much or as little as they choose, in ways that feel comfortable and enjoyable. Older participants are invited as active contributors to the making of the film, not as observers, extras, or an audience. Older people have a wealth of experience. – We will welcome any involvement from the older people, we will provide training if required this can be anything from helping with costumes, craft service to operating a camera The project will give the opportunity for older and younger people to work together on a creative project to share and learn new experiences and share a passion for creative projects.
