Dreams come true for CYCES’ pupils!

Pupils from CYCES took to the red carpet recently to premiere their film, DREAMSCAPE, at the Showcase Cinema on Hyde Road, Gorton. The budding young film makers created the motion picture using a grant from the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund.

While the pupils were given a helping hand by film production company, Screen Play: Education, the project was entirely created and brought to life by the school’s ten aspiring cinematographers. As well as developing initial ideas and the script, the pupils operated sound and camera equipment, and helped edit the motion picture to its final product - an imaginative, mystical film about dreams and nightmares.

DREAMSCAPE debuted to a packed out crowd of teachers, parents, carers and fellow pupils, and didn’t disappoint. “Spielberg and Scorsese will have competition for the Oscars next year,” said Steve Grimley, Principal of CYCES, which is owned by charity, the Together Trust. “The film was packed full of adventure and excitement – the students should be really proud of what they’ve achieved.

“By writing, producing and starring in DREAMSCAPE, the pupils developed some really important personal and academic skills, and it allowed them to express their emotions in a positive and creative manner.”
