🎬 Before the cameras roll, there's a whole team making sure the production can actually happen.

From scheduling and logistics to locations and budgets, these are just a few of the pre-production roles that help bring a film to life.

Which role should we spotlight next? πŸ‘€

Sunday 28th June: end the month of June with a heart-warming family film screening of FLY AWAY HOME!

FLY AWAY HOME - After losing her mum, 13-year-old Amy moves to Canada to live with her quirky inventor dad. Things look up when she finds a nest of abandoned goose eggs and nurses them until they hatch.

The fluffy goslings instantly bond with Amy, tracking her every move as their mama. But there is a huge catch: winter is coming, and the birds do not know how to fly south. To save them, Amy and her dad build a cool ultralight plane. Amy takes the pilot's seat, leading her feathered family on an epic, heart-warming 600 mile flying adventure to safety.

🎬 In times of division, stories matter.

'Cracked' (2025) was created by young people from across Northern Ireland and Ireland as part of a cross-border filmmaking project inspired by events that impacted communities close to home.

The film is a reminder that when young people are given the opportunity to listen, collaborate, and create together, powerful things can happen.

Because storytelling doesn't just reflect the world around us - it can help shape a better one.

🎬 Where are you now?

Over the years, thousands of young people have taken part in Cinemagic programmes, festivals, academies, juries, workshops, and film productions - and we'd love to hear what happened next.

Are you working in the creative industries? Studying something you love? Using skills you first discovered through Cinemagic? Or do you simply have great memories from your time with us?

We're looking to reconnect with our alumni, celebrate your achievements, and share some of your stories with the next generation of young creatives.
