Laugh Out Loud

Laugh Out Loud

In 2016 Round Midnight Creative Arts were awarded a 3 year grant from Children In Need to deliver the Laugh Out Loud project.

Laugh Out Loud was a comedy film course for Looked After Young People aged between 5 and 18 in Walsall. During the course the young participants, guided by movie industry professionals  devised and story-boarded their own comedy film concepts. These were then filmed by the young people, directed by the young people and of course, starring the young people!

At the end of the project these films were then showcased in their own mini film festival. There were:

  • Comedy Horrors
  • Sitcoms
  • Silent Movies
  • Mockumentaries

The young people involved were encouraged to lead on all aspects of the process, from idea to storyboard, to filming and acting in the piece. As well as learning new skills in the film industry, the project also provided its young beneficiaries with respite and an opportunity to have fun with peers.
