HotHouse DVD Project


DVD project HotHouse Theatre have been working with young film makers in the Gedling area to make DVDs for local community projects for them to use to promote their work, to encourage donations, recruit volunteers, to use as part of the induction process or in anyway that will help the projects fulfill their aims and objectives.



The film makers have had no experience of film making and are between the ages of 8 and 19. They are supported by professional film makers and youth workers to ensure that the client projects get high quality DVDs that are of genuine value to those projects. Here are a few of the finished DVDs.
