Submissions are now open to the Escalate Arts Film Festival!

# data[].attributes.body
Calling all young filmmakers aged 10 to18! Do you have a story you want to tell? A scene you can already picture on screen? An idea that refuses to leave you alone?

The Escalate Arts Film Festival invites young filmmakers from across Surrey to create and submit an original short film of up to 10 minutes in length.

There are no restrictions on genre, style, or equipment. Whether you create a drama, documentary, animation, comedy, horror film, or something entirely experimental, the organisers want to see your perspective and creativity brought to life. Films can be shot on a phone, camera, or any equipment available to you. What matters most is originality, storytelling, and your voice as a creator.

Why take part?

Entering the festival is an opportunity to:

Develop and showcase your creative ideas

Gain experience in filmmaking, directing, acting, writing, or editing

Create something you can be proud of

Have your work screened to an audience

Connect with other young creatives and storytellers across Surrey

No previous experience is required. Some of the most compelling films begin with a simple idea, a clear voice, and the confidence to start.

Work independently or collaborate with friends. Build a crew or create solo. However you choose to make your film, make it your own. Your story deserves to be seen. If you are aged 10–18 and live in Surrey or attend a school or sixth form college in Surrey, you are encouraged to get involved.

Judging criteria:

Films will be judged on the following areas:

Originality and creativity of the concept

Strength and engagement of the storytelling

Effective use of music, sound, dialogue, and audio

Use of camera work, lighting, framing, and visual composition to support the narrative

Overall technical execution

Technical quality will be considered within the context of available resources, and entrants will not be disadvantaged by limited access to equipment or professional support.

For documentary submissions, judges may also consider:

Strength and relevance of the subject matter

Clarity of structure and argument

Ability to engage and hold audience attention

Key dates

Submission Deadline: Sunday 23 August 2026

Entry Screenings: Wednesday 16 September 2026 at the Korda Theatre, Shepperton Studios

Shortlisted film screening and Awards Ceremony: Saturday 26 September 2026

Introducing Cabinet Thursdays

We’re excited to launch Cabinet Thursdays a brand new series celebrating the incredible work taking place across the Surrey Youth Cabinet (SYC).

What's new

Over the past year, the SYC has evolved to strengthen collaboration, sharpen focus, and increase the impact young people have across Surrey. This refreshed structure brings together two powerful groups working side by side:

A focused Cabinet team made up of our Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs), portfolio holders, and the Young Mayor team, this smaller group leads on key priorities, drives forward major projects, and represents young people at strategic levels.

A wider Youth Council which continues as a larger collective of passionate young people from across Surrey. Their role is vital ensuring a broad range of voices, experiences, and ideas shape the work we do.

Together, these groups form a dynamic partnership: a focused leadership team supported by a strong, diverse youth community.

What is Cabinet Thursdays?

Every other Thursday, we’ll be opening the doors to the work happening across both the Cabinet and the Youth Council.

From campaigns and consultations to behind the scenes conversations and real progress updates, Cabinet Thursdays will highlight how young people are influencing decisions and making a difference in their communities. Expect stories about:

projects led by MYPs and portfolio holders

Youth Council discussions and ideas

key issues young people are tackling

wins, challenges, and the journey in between

how you can get involved or follow the work

Why it matters

Young people across Surrey are stepping up, speaking out, and shaping change. Cabinet Thursdays is our way of celebrating that and making sure their work is visible, valued, and heard.

Whether you’re a young person, a parent, a partner organisation, or simply curious about youth voice in Surrey, this series will give you a closer look at the energy, leadership, and passion driving the Surrey Youth Cabinet forward.

Join us on Thursdays

Follow the series over on our Instagram, where we’ll be sharing updates, behind the scenes moments, and the stories. If you want to see how young people are leading change across the county.

Business Language Champions provides face-to-face and virtual language events for secondary school students. Created and delivered by professionals with a wide range of language-related careers, their events explode the myth that the study of languages leads only to jobs in teaching and translating.

Events cover curriculum and sector-based areas such as: languages and STEM, languages and marketing/business, languages and tourism, languages and science communication, languages and journalism, languages and the intelligence services. They also work closely with the RAF, helping them to promote the trade of RAF linguist, and have co-created three events with them to explore the international nature of their work.

The application of employability skills is a key component of all their events which require students to demonstrate key soft skills such as teamwork, time-management, communication, organisation and leadership. By taking part, students have the invaluable opportunity of practising their languages outside of the classroom within a fun, interactive work-based scenario. All events take the form of a competition between teams with prizes for winners, runners-up and individual merit.

British Antarctic Survey Virtual Work Experience Programme: 22nd - 29th July

# data[].attributes.body
Date: 22nd to 29th July 2026

Venue: Online (Zoom)

Applications are now open for this 6-day programme, open to UK-based students only, offers an opportunity to learn about the variety of roles contributing to the delivery of world-class scientific research as well as logistic and operational support in the polar regions.

The aim of the programme is to:

provide students with an opportunity to relate their school studies with scientific research and potential careers

increase their understanding of the diversity, inclusion and supportive practice within STEM

provide them with opportunities to communicate with a range of polar professionals in order to expand their network

This experience is an opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and explore what they enjoy doing.

The programme is run in collaboration with the team at Creative Tuition, a not for profit organisation providing free tuition, extracurricular workshops and personal development support to pupils from low-income backgrounds, marginalised and underrepresented communities. The aim of this experience is for students not only to learn about polar research, but to learn more about themselves and the careers they want to have throughout their lives.

Many young people struggle to access traditional in-person work experience, especially those from harder to reach areas or from lower socio-economic backgrounds. This Virtual Work Experience programme removes the twin barriers of cost and geographical location for young people from schools and colleges across the UK and abroad. This enables more young people to engage and learn about environmental science, marine engineering, polar operations and logistics.

For enquiries on BAS’s  work experience events please contact workexperience@bas.ac.uk.

Here’s how the degree apprenticeship application timeline actually works:

Research begins. Students explore employers, roles, locations, entry requirements, and start building CVs and LinkedIn profiles.

October-November

Preparation phase. Shortlisting opportunities, gaining work experience, practising interviews and assessments.

December-February (NOW)

Peak application period.

Many major employers recruit on a rolling basis and close roles early once assessment centres are full.

February-April

Online tests, assessment centres, interviews.

Offers made quickly.

Spring-Summer

Conditional offers confirmed, contracts issued, and onboarding begins. Often before A‑level exams are finished.

A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Career in Foley

# data[].attributes.subject
A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Career in Foley

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hello! I'm Danny, the resident Foley artist at 344 Audio. If you're reading this, you likely already know what Foley is and are curious about becoming a professional Foley artist. But for those who may be new to this world, here's a quick rundown on what exactly a Foley artist does.

In short, a Foley artist creates sound effects for films using everyday objects and actions to enhance a film's audio experience. Foley is a technique used in post-production, where the artist closely watches scenes and mimics the movements on screen to produce sounds that sync precisely with the visuals.

While that's a straightforward description, there's no substitute for hands-on experience. In this guide, I'll share some insights and lessons I've gathered from my career as a Foley artist here in the UK.

Why Is Foley So Important?

Foley effects are more than just "background noise"; they give depth and realism to scenes, helping audiences immerse themselves in the story. Without Foley, a film can feel flat and lifeless, as many subtle sounds that we expect to hear are missing. Foley adds a layer of authenticity that complements a film's soundtrack.

Getting Started: Building Your Skills and Knowledge

Step 1: Understand the Art of Foley and Define Your Role

To start, it's important to recognize that Foley is about much more than just creating pleasing sounds. Many newcomers confuse Foley with general environmental recording like wind or rain, but true Foley involves "performing" sounds to sync with on-screen actions. It's a mix of performance art and technical skill.

Early in my career, I learned that many people on production teams don't fully understand Foley's unique role. A big part of your job will involve communicating what Foley brings to a project and clarifying its purpose with the production team.

Step 2: Learn the Core Sound Categories in Foley

In Foley, we generally work with several main types of sound effects. Here's a quick overview of the most common Foley sounds:

Footsteps: Different surfaces (like gravel, wood, and snow) convey a lot about a character's movement and mood.

Clothing Rustles: The sounds of fabric moving, whether it's a jacket, dress, or uniform.

Door Sounds: From creaking to slamming, door sounds can be edited in as sound effects but recording them on the Foley stage can be very rewarding.

Weather Interactions: Creating sounds like wind or rain interacting with characters' clothing or the environment.

Impact Sounds: Punches, crashes, and falls are vital for action scenes.

Object Handling: Actions like picking up, setting down, or moving objects like books or tools.

Animal Sounds: For scenes involving animals, Foley artists often create hoofbeats, wing flaps, and other movements.

Water Sounds: From pouring and splashing to footsteps in puddles.

Breaking Objects: The sound of glass shattering or wood cracking can sweeten the sound effects in destruction scenes.

These categories form the foundation of Foley, and mastering them is essential for creating believable soundscapes.

Alongside these sounds, you'll need to develop:

A keen sense of timing and attention to detail

An understanding of how sounds affect emotions

Creativity to improvise and create unique sound effects from everyday objects

Step 3: Develop the Necessary Skills

Sound Design and Audio Editing: Basic sound design is crucial, as Foley artists work closely with sound designers. Familiarity with editing software like Pro Tools is key. In the past, Foley projects involved teams with specific roles (recordist, Foley artists, and editors), but today, Foley artists often handle all aspects-especially on small-budget projects. Being able to record, mix, and edit your own sounds is invaluable.

Timing and Synchronization: Foley artists must match sounds precisely to on-screen movements. Capturing the timing and feel in the performance is what makes a sound believable.

Creativity and Improvisation: Often, you'll need to think on your feet to create convincing sounds with limited resources. Improvising with everyday objects is a must.

Becoming a Foley artist doesn't require formal qualifications, but it does require a blend of technical knowledge, creativity, and adaptability. Here are some of the essential skills to focus on:

Courses and Workshops: At 344 Audio, we offer a week-long Creative Foley Workshop with legendary Foley artist Pete Burgis. It's a rare chance to learn from a seasoned pro who has worked on films like Harry Potter, James Bond, Cinderella, and Aladdin.

Step 4: Pursue Relevant Education and Training

Collaborate with Film Students: Film schools are ideal for finding short films that need Foley work. These projects offer valuable experience and can lead to more opportunities.

Work on Indie Films: Independent filmmakers often need affordable sound designers and Foley artists. Facebook Groups are still a great way to connect with your local filmmaking community..

Create a Foley Reel: As you work on more projects, compile a demo reel showcasing your Foley skills. Focus on variety to demonstrate your range. Foley performance videos are also popular on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where you can show off your personality, performance skills, and recording space.

Although specific degrees aren't required to become a Foley artist, the best way would be to seek out an established Foley artist that is willing to take you under their wing...

Step 5: Build a Portfolio with Independent Projects

Internships and Assistant Roles: Applying for internships, shadowing roles, or assistant positions at sound studios can provide valuable experience and connections. At 344 Audio, we've welcomed aspiring Foley artists and sound designers as interns. Recently, our former intern Hafeed landed a full-time role in game audio!

Freelancing: Once you have experience and a solid portfolio, freelancing can be a great way to work on a variety of projects. Freelancers work on everything from commercials to indie films and need strong networking skills to connect with clients. Industry events, creative communities, and even Facebook groups can be helpful for finding work.

Most Foley artists start by working on independent projects to build a portfolio. Here are some ways to gain experience:

Step 6: Gain Experience in Studios

Many successful Foley artists start as assistants in sound or post-production studios, where they can observe and learn the process.

Final Thoughts: Perseverance Pays Off

Breaking into Foley requires patience, passion, and persistence. Foley artistry is a unique blend of technical craft and performance art, and establishing yourself in this field can be challenging. But with a strong portfolio, a commitment to your craft, and effective networking, you can build a rewarding career.

Launch your career by joining our upcoming cohort in the Creative Foley Workshop or the Audio Post Essentials course. And if you feel ready to dive straight in, don't hesitate to reach out about joining our team-we're always excited to welcome new talent to our team.

Happy foley-ing, and good luck!
