Northern Stars
"Northern Stars was started because I felt that there's massive film making talent in the North East that would benefit from professional training so that the young film makers realise that a career in the film industry is possible. My company, Yipp Films, makes broadcast documentaries, drama, commercials and films and we're passionate about passing on our craft skills to the Northern Stars Film Academy. And having the academy in The Tyneside Cinema is brilliant because there's an audience on tap to watch the films that the Academy makes. I wish something like this existed in the North East when I was a teenager."
- Patrick Collerton, Emmy award winning film maker and Executive Producer of Northern Stars
