The first Master Class of the Seeds Project invited the crew members of the youth film "Uncertain Relationships Society" as guest speakers, namely director Heiward Mak, acting group PlayTime and music producer Wallis Cho. They shared with the audience on how to co-operate with one another to make the movie dream come true from the perspective of professionals in film production.
The first Seeds Project was launched in 2011, and the Project has been sponsored by Create Hong Kong since then. It aims at enhancing the creativity, aesthetic appreciation and artistic knowledge of secondary school students. It also seeks to increase their knowledge of the film industry and provide them with a platform for interaction and exchange of views with practitioners. This year, the Project will last for about seven months, covering a series of workshops, sharing sessions, a digital short video competition as well as industry and tertiary experience events. Along with the launch of the fourth Seeds Project, the Digital Short Video Competition 2015 is now open for entries. All secondary school students may submit short videos with a suggested length of up to 15 minutes on any topic. The submission deadline is April 30, 2015.
