With the help of young people from Tower Hamlets and other east London boroughs, 100 East London Stories launched in October 2017. The aim was to create a series of films, forming a ‘time capsule’ of life in east London.

 

Over the last year the participants have made nine films about people who live, work and study in east London. Led by industry professionals the young people learnt practical film making skills with a focus on preparing for higher/further education and employability.

 

I’m proud that I made friends, directed and worked in a team.

I got the opportunity to watch my own work in the cinema having only been once before.
