Premiere speech

Here is the great speech Anna Nina made at the premiere at Fawcett:

The Fawcett group was formed in October 2007 and since then many projects have taken place. This film project came together by a group of young people who all had different experiences with the police. After several weeks of coming together and telling our stories and incidents involving police and young people, we decided to make this docu-drama based on our true stories.

We are using this film to show adults and others how we think the relationship between police and young people should change. This docu-drama shows different sides to one story.

We believe it’s all about change.

Chanice wins Jack Petchey Award!

Chanice Browne (age 13) won the Jack Petchey Award this term after great commitment to the project. She was voted in by her peers who said:

Great attendance, an understanding person, has loads of ideas, participated really well, used her voice well, good at using words and being descriptive, and took part in everything.

The award means she has £300 to spend on the project as she chooses. Previous winners were Bianca Dorsett and Ella Brown.

Here is Chanice at the premiere, and accepting her award!

PREMIERE A SUCCESS!

Over 45 people came to the premiere of 'Connect Cett4', our docu-drama on young people's relationships with the police.

It was great to see the young people introduce the film and some of them do speeches.

Hope everyone enjoyed it! Any comments, please add below!!!!

I will be uploading some of the speeches and comments from the young people over the next couple of weeks.

Cett4 in the news?

The film project is partly funded by the Youth Opportunity Fund, and last week a photographer came to capture images of young people's projects. This photo of the Cett4 film group has ended up on the Metro newspaper website at:

We have heard the group may also feature in the Metro paper itself so keep your eyes out...

Chanice's Story

I was involved in the other project, H-town or Outtatown. I’m a very committed person and come nearly every week. We are now doing another project based on young people and police. We thought of the idea by our different experiences with the police, we also wanted to show people our different views about them. We started off with meetings then put out different funding applications. We got money off the RSA and then got money off the Youth opportunity funds.

We interviewed different people from all age groups and acted out a specific scene of our experience. We edited and produced a docudrama. Many people had a lot of different views and strong points. We also interviewed some police. We wrote the scripts and acted out the scenes. We tried our hardest to bring out the best of our ability and hopefully will be better than our first project. We hope you will see it when it’s finished and hopefully get a good response back.

Jenine's Story

I was involved in out first film H-Town or Outatown. I was the assistant director. After we finished that film, we enjoyed it so much that we applied for some money to do another film project. This time we wanted it to be a docudrama about Police and youths. My role has been providing refreshments for the group. We got given a certain amount of money to buy snacks. I enjoyed this project very much and I hope that this is continued…
