Making Creativity Works


Making Creativity Works was a training initiative delivered by Beacon Films and Signpost Productions, two North-East production companies that work with Deaf, hearing, Disabled and non-Disabled screen creatives.

Making Creativity Works provided over 100 hours of FREE hands-on training, and equipped learners with the skills and knowledge they needed to develop a career in film, television or video production.

They may have some experience of working on a film or in television, but also no experience was necessary to apply to take part.

We were particularly interested in encouraging a diverse range of applicants, including those who:

  • identified as Deaf or Disabled

  • were not in work

  • were a student approaching the end of their course


29% of those on the programme lived in areas within areas ranked 1-4 in the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).

39% of those who attended the programme achieved a positive change in economic status, and 78% of learners achieved at least one outcome related to employment or ongoing learning.
