Prince Harry Funds Nottingham Film School Dream
6 Jan
Summary
- Prince Harry made a substantial personal donation to a Nottingham youth center.
- The Community Recording Studio will use funds to open a new film school.
- The donation aims to replace the center's dilapidated building after 30 years.
A youth center in Nottingham, the Community Recording Studio (CRS), is set to launch a film school thanks to a substantial personal donation from Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex has supported CRS, which uses music and sport to mentor young people in the St Ann's area, since 2013. His recent personal contribution of £1.1 million is earmarked to help replace the charity's aging building and fund ambitious new creative facilities.
The envisioned film school plans include state-of-the-art studios for acting classes and creative work, aiming to empower local youth to produce their own films. This expansion into filmmaking builds upon CRS's existing film and video skills training. Notable figures like BAFTA-winning actor Adam Deacon have already engaged with the young participants, highlighting drama as a vital outlet for emotional expression.
CRS founder Trevor Rose expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing that Prince Harry's backing will make a transformative difference. The goal is to create a professional environment where young people can develop skills, pursue their dreams, and potentially lead the project in the future. The center looks forward to evolving into a hub for emerging talent in St Ann's.
