“I am currently taking a gap year before studying film and television at Aberystwyth University next year. The reason I took a gap year was to work with Wicked Wales to get more experience within different aspects of the film and television industry. My favourite thing about being a young programmer is the experiences I’ve had. I’ve met people from all over the film industry; producers, directors, photographers and YouTubers. This past year has been the best year ever and I’ve managed to meet like minded people from all over the world.” – Lacey
“As a student in Rhyl Sixth form, I discovered Wicked Wales as we were informed about the chance to run a pop-up cinema in the local children’s theatre. As I am ambitious about film, I then decided to volunteer, and have been doing so for over a year now. Through this, I also learnt about the Wicked Wales Film Festival and decided to help with that too. This year I was the Festival Chair and had to present the festival and give many speeches, which was a massive role for me as 12 months ago, I would not have had the confidence to do so.” – Natasha
