A volunteering opportunity to get involved in making a film
Theatre Workshop Scotland is being supported by the National Lottery to make a film about the mining communities of Fife. Set during the 1926 strike – it celebrates the courage, determination and humour of the community as it made a defiant stand against the bullying attempts of the coal owners to reduce wages and lengthen the working day. The organisation and solidarity of the Fife miners inspired the world and struck fear into the hearts of politicians and bosses – if there was to be revolution they thought it would start in Fife! Older miners recall a hot summer, swimming in the loch, mass picketing, political discussion, soup kitchens and fun – an explosion of culture with nightly dances, theatre shows and concerts – helping people endure the terrible hardship and heroic sacrifices they made. Inspirational stuff - and they’d like you to help them to celebrate your heritage - by making a film about it.
But this is no ordinary film – with the best professional crew available, they’ll make a great looking film that you’ll be proud of – but the difference is they want you to make it. If you’ve had loads of experience or none they need you all to get involved - always wanted to be in a movie, a regular or an absolute beginner – everyone, whatever age and ability, is very welcome.
You can get involved in:
- Research and writing
- Acting
- Music
- Sound
- Photography
- Design
- Camera work
- Set building
- Electrics
- Costume making
- Event organisation
- Publicity
