Calling The Shots is an Independent Production Company based in Bristol. We produce the New Talent Scheme for BBC3 and BBC4. We have developed our own talent development scheme for emerging new talent called mini masterpieces.

Along side this we facilitate young and old alike to engage with media, which then helps them engage with each other and the local community, and create more opportunities for creative expression.

Some of the projects we have worked on our:

  • Firstlight, which we have received nominations for the past three years.

Fresh 5, the first local film festival for young people, organised by young people and pioneered with three other local production companies.

The Mereton Centre, where young mother's created a film for local schools on becoming a mother at an early age.

Our aim is to make a positive contribution to local communities by engaging disadvantaged and disaffected young people in media based activities. For more young peoples voices to be heard through the media, whilst gaining lifelong skills in media production. This will then improve social and personal skills for them to then go on and hopefully achieve economic wellbeing.
