Community & Children's Film
Projects Tiny Spark Productions have delivered a variety of different community film projects throughout the Highlands and
have won awards for our work with children and young people. We faciliate and deliver workshops in filmmaking to groups
of all different ages. Participants develop their ideas and learn all of the skills they need to make their own film. Projects
and workshops can vary in length and content and be designed to fit the specific needs of any given groups. Learning
to make films is a great way of giving people the opportunity to express themselves and encourages a wide range of new skills
as well as confidence building. Our workshops are fun and inclusive and we work on the principle that everyone has a creative
voice. Tiny Spark Productions also have a strong track record in gaining public funding for our work. We
have previously delivered projects for The Knoydart Forest Trust, Muck Primary School, Eigg Primary School, The Knoydart Foundation
and The Community Woodlands Association and received funding from First Light Movies, Awards for All, HIE and The Highland
Council. See below for more details. If you are part of a community group or work with one that
would like to make a film, we are always looking for new projects, and would love to hear from you at sfirth@gmail.com or
on 01687 462303. The most recent project with Mallaig Primary School can be watched here Most of the films below are
available on DVD. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a copy.
