What?
Professionally structured film productions with young people in every role.
Each RUC production includes 4 days of hands-on filmmaking workshops, followed by a 5 day production week, and a final film premiere event. As a Creative, you will come onto the project already knowing what your role is in the cast or crew. Then through the production you will delve into your role and responsibilities, and you will collaborate in bringing the film to life.
Every role on a film set is a crucial part of that production. Reels Up Creatives is all about exploring the value and creativity in each and every one of those roles. It is about filmmaking as a collaborative platform for expression and storytelling. And it is about letting your creative, filmmaking voice be heard.
THE CHECKLIST

And, most importantly...
The space to explore and express your creativity through cinematic language and film, alongside 29 other passionate young filmmakers and performers.
SCREENWRITER'S RETREAT
Each RUC production is driven by Creatives in every aspect. In between each production, we run a short screenwriter's retreat for young people. Across two days, you will delve into the screenwriting craft, write your own screenplay, and work with other aspiring screenwriters.
Through this, we find the next Reels Up Creatives script. If yours is selected, you come on board our next production from the very beginning, in whichever role you want to take on.
