CineVerse: Our Future Story Factory 🎬

Poem by Jazlyn (Prariewood High School)
Film by Kylie, Renie, Samuel, Sayed (Sarah Redfern High School)

CineVerse is a Story Factory Big Project spanning four high schools in Western Sydney, five emerging film-makers, over 80 poems and up to 20 short films.

Cinematic in both scope and vision, CineVerse allows teenagers from widespread communities to use the language of film and poetry to investigate things that matter to them.

Across day-long workshops, students will write poetry and work with filmmakers to produce short films that explore the poems of students which are shared between all participating schools. At the culmination of the project the short films will be shown to students, friends and family in festival screenings, awarded prizes by a panel of industry judges, and will be presented with professionally designed and printed anthologies of their writing.

Students who participate in CineVerse will discover themselves to be published poets, film makers, skilful collaborators and even award-winners - all of them with a voice worth celebrating.

With thanks to CineVerse partners UnLtd, M&C Saatchi and Val Morgan.
