🎬 We’re delighted to announce the launch of ‘First Shot’ – a competition we’re running as part of YourFilm’s 20th birthday celebrations!
Kevin Owens 🎬 and Matthew Newman founded YourFilm in their early 20s, in part so that they could accumulate kit and crew contacts to further our ambitions in the commercial film world.
20 years on, they have built a successful video production studio, but never went back to their filmmaking dream! So, we want to give one young person a chance to help get their career moving.
