Hollywood filmmaker's masterclass in Lancaster

A Hollywood producer has visited Lancashire to mentor a new generation of aspiring filmmakers.

Carlos took part in five film making masterclasses across the UK, including one held recently in Lancaster.

Filmmakers also had the opportunity to ask questions about their own ! feature project and receive feedback from Carlos.

As well as Lancaster, similar sessions were held in Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and London.

It was Chee Keong Cheung's initiative that brought Carlos to the UK. The sessions were organised by Chee's Lancaster-based company Intense Productions, in association with UK Trade and Investment North West.

"The masterclasses were incredibly successful and I was really pleased with the strong feedback from the film makers and creatives in attendance, which included writers, directors, producers, actors, editors, composers and film students. "I’m grateful to UK Trade and Investment NW and NE for helping to support the masterclasses along with Creative Lancashire. Due to the level of interest and demand we're hoping to arrange more masterclasses later in the year."
