Gatecrash Films CIC are a non-profit organisation, working to open up filmmaking and the arts to young people who aren't in mainstream education.
We’ve developed our first pilot workshop in partnership with New Meaning Training Berkshire, with a ten-week programme ready for the Autumn term (subject to funding).
