6 of the 21 artists I mentored for Random Acts North ended up with their films broadcast on Channel 4 as part of the Random Acts TV series.

“Random Acts TV cherry-picks the best films produced across the entire Random Acts output.”

Congratulations to Aaron Dunleavy, Eleanor Edwards, Theo W. Scott, Bella Spencer, Peter Groom and Josh Hawkins. All the films are presented below and the TV series and website links are here: Random Acts TV @ All 4 / Random Acts Website / Random Acts @ youtube

Earlier this year Random Acts North asked me to be a mentor for the Channel 4 / Arts Council England run short film scheme.

Since then I’ve worked with some terrific young artists to help bring their visions to life for the ‘First Acts’ strand of the initiative.

The work will roll out across the Random Acts website over the coming months. Watch out for Josh Hawkins, Jack Fisher, Paul Trickett, Adam Goodwin, Jamal Gerard, Lizzie Klotz, Lunar Rising, Matt Miller and Raven Maguire… with more to come in year two.
