Films

WAYout believes in the power of media to change, inform and entertain. WAYout was co-founded by award winning international filmmaker Hazel Chandler MBE and the standard of teaching has enabled WAYout members to make films (drama, documentary and music videos) which have won awards and been official selection at International festivals and been broadcast on National and International TV. We also make films for NGOs such as Street Child, UNFAO and WaterAid.
