At Highfields, we believe every one of our students has the potential to achieve greatness - and sometimes, they prove us right in the most incredible ways.
Recently, Year 12 Film Studies student Phoebe had her GCSE screenplay submitted to Into Film, the UK’s largest Film Education charity. In an exciting turn of events, the charity selected her work to feature in a training video aimed at helping educators teach screenplay writing more effectively.
To bring the video to life, Paris Zarcilla, a British Independent Film Award-nominated director, was invited to demonstrate tips and tricks for storyboarding and he chose none other than Phoebe’s screenplay to do it! In the video, Phoebe’s words begin to take shape through the creative talents of the celebrated Filipino-British filmmaker, with her name being highlighted as part of the process.
We are incredibly proud of Phoebe for having her talent recognised at such a young age. There is no doubt she has an exciting future ahead, and we can’t wait to see where her journey in film takes her. One thing’s for certain, we’ll be the first in the cinema, popcorn in hand, ready to see her name on the big screen!
