Creative Futures 2015 was a great success
Here's a film made by a team of young people who were recruited through Creative Futures as a production team led by C>Media to document the day. So they planned, interviewed, filmed, recorded sound and edited throughout the day rather than taking part in individual activities. They did a great job and thanks to Mikey and Salsabil for helping them make it.
