London 2012 has created Film Nation: Shorts in partnership with the UK Film Council – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the next generation of young film makers.
This official London 2012 film project encourages young people aged 14–25 to make short films, telling their own stories in their own way.
There`s the chance to learn from experts about how to make a film from scratch – through workshops, master classes and Q&A sessions across the UK.
Plus, there`s the chance to win state-of-the-art equipment and be part of an award ceremony. Best of all, winners will see their work screened in iconic London 2012 venues during the Games!
