Campaign to help our young writers to make it to the big screen! Children from across Yorkshire are being given the chance to see their writing turned into short movies as part of Grimm and Co’s latest project, The Big Picture.Click here to watch the news reel by Paul Clayton (actor and Grimm patron) or to read all about it in our press release.
We are hoping to raise funds to pay towards the creation of 6 quality and entertaining films and for the hire of the cinema for an entertaining afternoon of film and stories. This is the final piece of the funding jigsaw as the work on the scripts has already begun - with artists funded through the Arts Council England programme, to work with children and young people, develop confidence and self esteem + motivation to write. A great deal of time and skills have already been donated to the project but we need sponsorship and individual support to help this dream come true.
Scripts written by our very own children and young people will be used to create 6 amazing films, acted by celebrated artists and directed by the likes of Jeremy Dyson (League of Gentlemen & Ghost Stories) and Paul Clayton (Peep Show & Hit Man and Her) + stories/poetry will be performed on stage by celebrated artists. They are gifting their time to this project, along with many volunteers, actors, etc.
If you are a company or an individual and would like to sponsor one of the 6 films please make sure we know who you are and contact deborah.bullivant@grimmandco.co.uk (founding Director) directly to make sure you receive the recognition for the significant contribution you've made.
Individuals can also support us to make this happen by hosting fundraisers or by donating directly to this site. We are truly grateful and we promise updates, exclusives and our absolute gratitude for helping us to do this.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
