Hey Lovelies, 

It was announced this afternoon that the charity Into Film, will be hosting its award show, dedicated to the young people’s learning on the 24th March at the Empire Leicester Square! That’s so cool! 

Hosted by Matt Edmonson, the young filmmaking nominees, made up of 5 to 19 year olds, will walk the red carpet along with a whole host of stars to have their talents honoured. I am so happy for all of those nominated, because it is great to see so many young people being interested in films and the making process behind them.
