I WISH
THE FLAGSHIP REELS UP CREATIVES PROJECT
In Summer 2024, 34 young filmmakers and screen actors collaborated on the hands-on, explorative production of their short film I Wish.
Through 10 days of workshops, pre-production, production and a final film premiere event, the team explored the film production process in all its glory. They each got to grips with their own role, and worked together to bring the world of their film to life. Each and every one of them should be immensely proud of their invaluable input in making the project such a success. As the first ever Reels Up Creatives, they sure set the bar! We can't wait to see all of their future creative work, both as part of Reels Up and beyond.

THEIR THOUGHTS:
OUR THOUGHTS:
I had very high hopes for the first ever Reels Up Creatives project - and it far
surpassed them. That is thanks to the 34 incredible Creatives, who embraced
the project in all its creative glory, and worked so hard to make the film production
process their own. The idea for Reels Up Creatives was only born in March this year, so to
see St Mary's Creative Space fill up for that first session made all of the countless hours of
planning completely, utterly worth it. And as the project progressed, the magic grew
ever-stronger and the Creatives built a genuinely impressive, efficient and inclusive
film set. It was a pleasure helping the team find their filmmaking platform, and then to
watch as they thrived on it. I intentionally didn't make the project easy for them... they
had a 25 page script, with 12 characters, and only 5 shoot days. Even to the most seasoned
professionals that would be a major filmmaking challenge! But what better way to learn than
to be faced with a challenge alongside a team of people who share an equal drive to overcome it?
And they did just that. They captured a 25 minute long film that embodies everything their film set
embodied: creativity, collaboration, inclusivity, laughter, and magic.
Well done to all 34 Creatives for your amazing work. You should all be beyond proud.
See you for the next one?
