eShed
A network for young people interested in film and media which engages and inspires participation in creativity and the moving image. A steering group of young people work together with Watershed to keep the website updated, programme new work, stimulate debate and discussion and run film related events.
Nov 2006 - present
eShed is a Bristol-based network for young people aged 14-21 interested in film and media which engages and inspires participation in creativity and the moving image.
Members of the eShed network have exhibited their own short films, reviewed films, interviewed internationally recognised filmmakers such as the actor Paddy Considine, travelled to film festivals and participated in industry panel discussions. In August 2009 they met and interviewed Martha Lane Fox, the dot.com entrepreneur and Digital Champion.
Since 2007 eShed has curated Electric December, Watershed’s online advent calendar. They are involved in all stages of the project – selecting the films, designing the website and producing trailers.
In 2008, its tenth year, Electric December showcased content from across Europe for the first time ever. Young people from Spain, Germany, Poland, France, the Netherlands, Lithuania and UK made the 24 virtual treats.
By providing opportunities to explore, create and discuss all aspects of moving image media, Watershed opens up talent pathways for young people in the creative industries. Visit eShed.net to find out how you can get involved.
