Lights, camera... LauraLynn's Oscars Project helps young filmmakers put ideas into action

A novel storytelling initiative sees LauraLynn children and their families script a movie and star in it with the support of industry experts. Tomorrow, they get to walk the red carpet for the premiere of their cinematic creation

The hummer goes around the block, rounds the corner. A loud cheer goes up. There are the fans! And there’s the red carpet! This is what six families will experience tomorrow at the LauraLynn Oscars, which take place at the Odeon, Charlestown in Dublin.

The ‘digital storytelling’ initiative gives LauraLynn children and their families a platform to create their unique movie – while being supported by industry professionals. Tomorrow’s red-carpet, black-tie event – all the children arrive in limos – is the culmination of this film creation process. It is a movie premiere experience for the entire family who are supported by the children’s hospice.
