Testimonials
Into Film has partnered with Digital Arts Box for more than nine years, spanning a diverse range of projects, including delivering in-depth professional development for schools in their area, and numerous standalone projects on an ad hoc basis. They have delivered over 3,000 instances of training in educational settings across the Northwest for Into Film in that period, and the feedback has always been excellent. Evaluation they carry out as part of the projects often cite how inspired teachers feel to embed the film literacy and filmmaking activities they have learnt into their teaching practice. They have delivered across a broad array of topics, adding their own expertise into the mix, and we have always had complete faith in having them represent us.

Through their engaging and high-quality programs in animation, video game design, and digital art, they have consistently delivered impactful experiences that inspire creativity and develop new skills.
One standout initiative was the Coding Clubs in Runcorn and Widnes, which ran for two years and were incredibly well-received—not only by the young people attending but also by parents and the wider community. These sessions increased footfall in our libraries, reinforcing them as valuable community hubs. ...Read More
As a school committed to fostering creativity and inclusivity, we are incredibly proud of the success of the Creative Hangout digital media activity club for our SEN students.

Issues like meeting new people and accessing and adapting to unfamiliar environments can be daunting. By hosting sessions within our school, we’ve helped ease some of that anxiety, allowing students to pursue their interests, develop new skills, and form meaningful relationships with both their peers and the warm, approachable staff. ...Read More
