THIS YEAR'S SCREEN-SKILLS BURSARY WINNERS

Scriptwriter

(To be mentored by 大象传媒 Writersroom)

Harriet, 16, Sheffield (Screen-Skills award nominee)

I won the screenwriting category for my film about a toy goblin. I love Bolivia, Green Wing, Franz Ferdinand and Shakespeare. I hate Physics homework and Tutti Frutti flavour. When I'm older, I'd like to write feature films and TV series for a living and travel around the world.

Joseph, 18, York

I鈥檓 studying screenwriting. Music, film and writing are my passions. Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and Memento are a few films which really have astounded me鈥�

Director of Photography

(To be mentored by the British Guild of Camera Technicians and the London Film Academy)

Sam, 19, London (Screen-Skills award nominee)

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to work in telly. One day I want to climb the ladder to Exec Producer and maybe even Channel Controller when I'm old and grey!
Will, 19, Preston

I started making stop motion animations when I was 6. Whenever I see something good on TV or at the cinema I think to myself, I want to be part of that. My ultimate ambition in the industry is to have my own film studios!

Editor

(To be mentored by Envy and Platform post production)

Jack, 17, Bath (Screen-Skills award nominee)

I'm going to try and learn as much as I can and really make the most of the opportunities given to me. I'm so lucky to get the Editing bursary - it'll give me the chance to improve my storytelling and become a better filmmaker all round.
Chris, 17, Stoke-on-Trent

I'm currently having a great time studying a BTEC in Media! I鈥檝e recently realised how much I want to work in the television industry. Now I'm one step closer to realising my dream of working as an editor鈥�

Composer

(To be mentored by top industry composers)

Joe, 18, Bath (Screen-Skills award nominee)

I could never have predicted this is where I'd be today: getting nominated for the Screen-Skills BAFTA Award, composing ideas for scores, sitting in on recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios and meeting inspirational creatives. Weird.
Tim, 17, London

I was amazed and joyful to find out I won one of the bursaries. It鈥檚 an amazing opportunity and I鈥檓 really looking to everything it has to offer.
