LIGHTS, CAMERA, CAERPHILLY!

IS BACK FOR TAKE TWO!

Lights, Camera, Caerphilly! Is back after a successful inaugural year in 2023.


LCC is a skills development programme that in 2023 gave 8 young aspiring actors the opportunity to receive training in their field, as well as in the wider Film and TV industries as a whole with support from Screen Alliance Wales, which is one of Wales' leading education and traineeship provider within the TV and Film sector here in Wales.


The trainee actors then recived paid acting work alongside proffesional actor Ben McGregor in a short film which premmiered at the Maxime Cinema in balcwood last November.  


The scheme was devised and run by Andrew Creak on behalf of Third Time Lucky Productions, with funding and support from Caerphilly Arts Development, and Screen Alliance Wales.


Now, in 2024, we are back, and expanding the opportunities available for people based within the Caerphilly County and the South Wales Valleys.

ONE OF A KIND


“This scheme is one of a kind because it recognises the time people provide to create short films, and there is no other scheme like this where everyone is paid for their time, including the trainees.


This opens the door to people from economic backgrounds who may not have been able to partake otherwise.”


ALLISON DOWZEL

Managing Director

Screen Alliance Wales

ACCESSABLE


“I think schemes like this are important because it gives people from different areas the opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise, and to have it on your doorstep makes it more accessable.


They can have a taste and see if they like it themselves.”

GROUNDBREAKING


“I am so proud of what we have managed to create with Caerphilly Arts Development and SAW, a groundbreaking skills development programme that is going from strength to strength.


LCC is providing an open door into the creative sector for those who may otherwise not had the chance.”
