Reel People brings you the stories of non-male, North East-based filmmakers. Learn how they fell in love with film, cultivated their craft and broke the field’s boundaries. Deepen your knowledge, probe your expectations and most importantly, be inspired.

This week's filmmaker is Cecilia Stenbom. With a background in fine art, Cecilia creates award-winning narrative short films which centre around an interest of identity in a world of consumer culture and the media’s role in the everyday.

Reel People is presented by Susie Davies, Newcastle University fine art student and aspiring documentary filmmaker. The show is a Micro-Project commissioned by Star and Shadow Cinema and funded by Arts Council England.

So, the message? Whoever you are: believe in yourself, let no one discourage you… and make film!
