Student Pens Anti-Bullying Film
Youth Entry to Further Education (YEFE) student Amrita Davies
will this spring be launching her very own anti-bullying themed
film.
Amrita is the brains behind the fictional film which follows one
girl's journey as she deals with being bullied at school.
Amrita penned the script and with the help of her classmates has
filmed a version of it as part of her class' community focused
project. Amrita hopes to be able to show the film to local schools
and community centres in the future.
"The film's just about life, about the experiences of my friends
and people I know, combined with my imagination," says Amrita. "Not
all kids have an easy life - but if anyone's actually being bullied
out there they should tell someone. If you keep it a secret, things
will only get worse."
Amrita now wants to become a professional scriptwriter and has
advice for other young people looking to do the same thing. "Get
your stuff out there - show people your work because you never
know, it may be a success."
