BOARD MEMBERS
Non-salaried
3-year post


First Light Movies (FLM) is the leading nationwide initiative that enables disadvantaged young people aged between five and 19 years to realise their creative potential via filmmaking. With backing by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the Department for Children, Families and Schools (DCFS) and the UK Film Council, FLM administers significant public funds.

Since 2001, FLM through DCMS lottery funding has supported over 12,000 young people to produce more than 900 short films, reflecting the diversity and richness of their lives, whilst DCFS via Mediabox, a new major funding scheme managed by First Light Movies, has since the beginning of 2007, enabled over 4,000 young people across England to create 65 digital media projects.

Members of the board will play a significant role in continuing the scheme as a national champion and catalyst for young film and media makers. Candidates will have leadership, imagination and experience of managing and directing public and/or private companies. The roles require an engagement across a wide range of regional/national sectors including youth, film and television industries, government and funding agencies.
