Introduction

“Feel Good Films gave our children an exciting and memorable opportunity to experience the world of filmmaking first-hand. From coming up with ideas and writing scripts to acting, filming, and working behind the scenes, every child had the chance to be part of the creative journey.

The project allowed pupils to explore different roles—whether as directors, camera operators, sound engineers, writers, or performers—helping them discover new interests and talents. It was wonderful to see children grow in confidence, especially those who might usually stay in the background, stepping forward to share their ideas and take on new challenges. Most importantly, the experience was fun, engaging, and empowering.

If it inspires even one child to pursue a passion for film or storytelling in the future, then it has truly been worthwhile.”

What the adults say…

“Tower College clearly practices what they preach when it comes to its ‘student led’ ethos and this project was a perfect example of that. It was an honour getting to work with so many rising stars both in front and behind the camera! The students of Tower College were such a joy to work with. To be involved in such an immersive experience and collaborate with the Feel Good Films team with such enthusiasm is a real testament to the Tower College community, education and ethos.”

What the children say...

“I was very lucky to be chosen to take part in the Feel Good Films Project. In the film I played a part in the Magic Math scene. I really enjoyed being part of the team and the experience was amazing.  It was really fun. From the experience I enjoyed watching the filming crew at work and enjoyed being part of the acting crew and to see what goes on behind the scenes when creating films.”
