Starstruck Trainees Wanted in Liverpool

ANYONE interested in working in feature film production is being urged to apply for one of four fabulous, paid, training placements on a film about to start shooting in Liverpool.

Northwest Vision and Media has arranged for four, exclusive, paid placements on the feature film, Starstruck, which is about to start shooting in the city as part of the prestigious Digital Departures initiative.

Digital Departures is Vision and Media’s micro-budget feature film scheme, which recently announced that three fully-funded feature films are to be made in Liverpool, with plans to premiere the movies during Capital of Culture celebrations.

Starstruck is a dark drama following two Liverpool teenage girls, obsessed with a young premiership footballer, as they lure him to a caravan for a night of passion – but things don’t play out quite how they imagine.

Written by award-winning Liverpool writer Leigh Campbell, who has seen her scriptwriting career supported and nurtured by Vision and Media since 2002, Starstruck is produced by Andy Stebbing and directed by Lindy Heymann, whose last film Showboy won Best Film at the Milan International Film Festival.

Placement opportunities are available within Starstruck's Editing, Camera, Art and Costume departments, providing valuable on-the-job training as well as specific occupational skills development.
