Create Business Plan



Create is a non-profit making organization, dedicated to making films with young people.
We not only make films, we screen them on a big cinema style screen.

The project started life as a touring cinema back in 2000.  We screened critically acclaimed films using a 16mm projector onto a home made screen. When the Suffolk Digital network began, we switched to digital equipment.

The idea of making films to show on the the big screen was realized in 2005, with the community project: The Iliad. In 2005 and early 2006 we made a number of other films, an animation project and a series of short inter-related films based on the seven deadly sins, called Mr Black's Big Day Out. See Gallery page

2006 - The Acorn project: Based in Thetford at the Sure Start Centre and worked in connection with The West Suffolk Hospital. Was aimed at young people excluded from employment and education. Made three films:

Great Expectations:

was made in four hours by a group of teenage parents. The poem used in the sound track was composed by one of the young parents, Tara Stones. It details the prejudice experience by young mothers and the overwhelming sense of responsibility. These pressures are set against the unconditional love of a mother towards her child.

Skin to Skin:

fitted a specific brief: encouraging young people to think about the commercial possibilities of their work. Skin to Skin sits neatly with current midwifery practices, demonstrating “thermal synchrony:” the ability of a mother to alter her own body temperature to the needs of a new born child.

Dot Lost the Plot:

is the chilling tale of a woman with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Dot’s life is limited by her obsessive need to clean. She tidies her life, sorts it into boxes and packs it all away, until finally there is no life left to be lived.

Three young women involved in this project have received accreditation.


In 2007 we were awarded two grants, to run 2 separate projects over 12 months: the Local Network Fund - Film School, and the Media Box - Media Lab. Both courses are running the Arts Award Scheme.
