🎬 Week 7 of 7 – A Recipe for Confidence (we added an extra week!!!)

What better way to finish our 7-week FilmWorks Trust Young Filmmakers Programme than by combining healthy eating with storytelling?

This week, our young people took part in a hands-on cooking session led by Chef, learning how to make a delicious and nutritious vegetable curry from scratch. Together they washed, peeled and chopped fresh vegetables, carefully added each ingredient to the pan in the right order, seasoned everything with fragrant spices, salt and pepper, added water, and watched as simple ingredients were transformed into something truly delicious.

By the end of the session, everyone was proudly serving up their own homemade curry. For many, it was a reminder that healthy food can be simple to make—and surprisingly tasty too!

Meanwhile, our budding filmmakers were hard at work behind the camera, capturing every stage of the process. From food preparation and teamwork to the final taste test, they’ll now turn the footage into a short documentary that celebrates learning, creativity and community.

Over the past seven weeks, these young people have developed valuable filmmaking skills, grown in confidence, and discovered the power of telling real stories. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so proud of everything they’ve achieved.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this programme possible, especially BBC Children in Need, for supporting the next generation of young storytellers.

🎥 Every great film starts with a story. This one just happened to begin in the kitchen.
