Free filmmaking sessions have been held in Denbighshire.

Working Denbighshire has teamed up with community arts charity TAPE Community Music and Film to provide locals with hands-on industry experience.

Over the course of two sessions at Rhyl Library, budding filmmakers were given the chance to use professional equipment.

The attendees had volunteered to share their experiences of working with the employability service, all while learning how to capture their stories on film.

Led by filmmaker, Niall Jones from TAPE, the one-and-a-half-hour sessions delved into the fundamentals of filmmaking.

Mr Jones said: "Sharing creative skills and passions in a way that involves everyone is at the heart of TAPE's ethos.

"Our thanks to Working Denbighshire for allowing us to connect further with Denbighshire residents, and our thanks to those who came along to the sessions to make it such an enjoyable experience!"

Melanie Evans, principal manager and strategic lead for Working Denbighshire, highlighted the benefits of such events. She said: "Events like these really highlight the importance of this service and the wide array of employment and skills support that is available to our young people in the county.

"We are grateful to have been able to collaborate with TAPE to provide these free sessions.

"This kind of professional development provides residents with experience using high quality equipment, which will add value to their CV."

Echoing Ms Evans' sentiment, Councillor Jason McLellan, leader of Denbighshire County Council and lead member for economic growth & tackling deprivation, also expressed the significance of the sessions.

He stated: "The knowledge gained from these sessions will give local aspiring filmmakers a greater understanding of the field they aspire to work in.

"Working with professionals allows for great growth and understanding, and is a great way to build up a CV."
