By Steve Bland<\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier this year No Brainer teamed up with one of Manchester\u2019s brightest video and content agencies, Trunk, and\u00a0the national charity, the National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS<\/a>), to work on producing two aspirational videos designed to showcase the incredible talents of young people living in care.<\/p>\n Well, we are delighted to say that these two inspiring films, one animation and one film based on a poem written by a 16-year-old Preston youngster in care, have been revealed for the first time at an exclusive preview event at Liverpool\u2019s oldest remaining cinema, the Woolton Picture House.<\/p>\n Delivered through Wirral-based NYAS\u2019s \u201cDigital Life Stories\u201d project, the objective of the six-month campaign has been to encourage young people to learn a range of new skills and engage in a series of workshops on film-making and marketing.<\/p>\n No Brainer ran the marketing workshops while Adam Britton and the fantastic team at\u00a0Trunk<\/a>\u00a0led the way on the video and technical side of the Big Lottery-funded project.<\/p>\n And we worked together on storyboarding sessions where the young people came up with the storylines, themes and concepts for the two films. We should also give a special mention to the support we received throughout from Jennie, Lara and Amy at\u00a0Everton in the Community<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kriss Akabus<\/a>i for starring in the film.<\/p>\n Gary Jenkins, Director and co-founder of No Brainer said: \u201cWe were honoured to get the chance to work alongside a brilliant charity like NYAS \u2013 and some truly incredible young people \u2013 on this project.<\/p>\nWhat they said!<\/h4>\n
