Ascot students have worked with a production company to learn about the film industry and to create a great short film about their local library. Eleven young students were supported to make the film by Cube Video, which held two sessions last month.

The Durning Library Trust funded the project, which was organised in partnership with the Royal Borough library service. The project was opened up for 11 to 14 year olds in the Ascot area.

A ‘premiere night’ event was held at Ascot Library on World Book Day, Thursday 7 March. At the event, the students, their family and friends all gathered in attendance to watch the completed film for the first time, as well as a behind the scenes video. In a nod to the Academy Awards, everyone was given an ‘Oscar’ for their contributions, walked up the ‘red carpet’ and gave speeches. Drinks and snacks were served for those in attendance. 

 The film has now been released on Library service YouTube channel and is available for the public to watch here.
