The National Youth Film Academy (NYFA) is coming to the South West on the lookout for the best up and coming young actors and filmmakers.

The NYFA offers 10-day introductory courses at Easter and during the summer for young people aged 16-25 who want to break into the film industry.

Across the two weeks they are given the opportunity to develop and produce their own short film, which is then showcased to friends and family at a local picture house.

Participants are assessed on their talent, enthusiasm and professionalism, with the very best invited to become full members of the National Youth Film Academy.

The organisation offers representation through a feeder agency for its actors and access to exciting job opportunities for its filmmaking members.

Talent scouts from the NYFA will be in Exeter tomorrow, February 11, and young people from across the region are being invited to register to interview.
