all about the film…
The Media Trust programme
The film is part of a Media Trust programme which brings volunteer creative directors together with charities to help them showcase their work through film. The programme is supported by a number of funders including John Lyon’s Charity which helps support the Barnet Young Carers activities programme. The Media Trust linked us with a brilliant director called Stevie Jerram who, together with Chris Payne from the Media Trust, guided us through the process.
The Director…
Stevie Jerram
Steven is an upcoming producer/director keen to create work telling untold narratives that highlight under-represented groups. Alongside producing a series of award-winning short films, Steven is the production coordinator for BBC’s Question Time.
“It was incredibly inspiring to meet and work with the Young Carers in Barnet whose stories and honesty directly helped create the narrative of the film. They were incredibly proud and keen to go against the typical victim narrative, which often surrounds views of caring. We hope this story can shine a light on the phenomenally capable, bright and empathetic young people who achieve so much in the face of day-to-day adversity.”
