A NEW training scheme being launched by a Skye film studio has taken inspiration from Hollywood actor Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute in Utah.
Film producer Chris Young’s Young Films studio at the Fàs centre in Sabhal Mòr Ostaig already makes the Gaelic TV series Bannan and production is to start soon on a major feature film about the Lockerbie disaster.
Now, in collaboration with the Glasgow and Edinburgh film festivals and the National Film and Television School, Young is creating a residential training scheme, the Young Film Foundation, to encourage new talent, as well as planning an annual forum for directors, writers and producers.
