Film shot at Craggan Outdoors
Sunday 12th July, 2009In a new development for Craggan Outdoors, early July saw the centre become a film location for the first time, playing host to a ‘young carers’ group that were enjoying a respite break that centred around the making of a short film.
A joint project between Borders Young Carers and specialist film company VOMO (Voice of My Own), the group spent a week at Craggan Outdoors making the film, with a script developed from the collective life experiences of this particular group of young carers, young people who each care for mentally or physically ill, drug or alcohol dependent parents &/or siblings.
The group worked long hours from Monday to Friday in what were mostly far from ideal weather conditions, filming at a range of locations around Craggan Outdoors, & also in Grantown-on-Spey itself. Departing on Friday the group seemed very pleased with what they had achieved.
The team at VOMO will now be hard at work editing the several hours of film that they shot into the finished 10 minute production. The film is due to premiere in Edinburgh in September.
