Director/film maker wanted for school-based outdoor carnival event

We are the Creative Cats at Broadheath Primary school. During the spring and summer of 2010 we are working on a carnival event that will come to fruition in our village on Wed 23rd June.

We want our children (139 of them) to have a much greater awareness of global and local cultural identity, so the carnival is themed on “around the world and around the corner”. We want it to involve all our pupils, parents and people from the village. We imagine that it will include dance, puppets, bad fortune telling, music, film and animations, good story telling, food and lots more…..

At the heart of it we want some kind of film or animation element- we thought of a film tent with some stories told on film. We are a multi-talented energetic staff and are all ready to pitch in and make lots of the creative elements with pupils and others. We want a creative leader, who has film or animation skills, who will work with staff and pupils to formulate and shape our creative work and help us to create an extraordinary event.

If you are this person, send The Creative Cats a short e-mail telling us about yourself and why you would like to do this with us. To head@broadheath.worcs.sch.uk and antony@antonywaller.com You can attach some photos if that would be useful.

This is about a 15-day contract, or thereabouts for a fee of £3,000.

The deadline for getting in touch is Friday 12th February.

The interviews by children and staff will be (Monday 15th March). You need to be CRB checked and have public liability to the tune of £5,000,000.
