Joyce Treasure

I have 18 years experience of working with mixed media, which includes metals, fine art, model making, props, photography + 1998 onwards = scriptwriting, editing, directing, DV film production, budgeting, and directing. 2008: explore multi media - combining content forms and looking at gps, geotagging, mashup google maps, flicker, youtube, blogs to open up new art opportunities, learning and educational strategies.

I have also worked in the theatre for 9 years before pursuing my career in film and writing. To date I have worked on promos and short films, one of which was funded by ABI and the BBC.

Work in the past has meant that I have experience of working with young people/adults for twelve years. My film work has lead me to work in schools, as a facilitator teaching filmmaking to primary and secondary school children, for the last four years. In that time I have benefited from working with a wide range of children with varying learning capabilities, and socially diverse backgrounds.

March 2207 I set up Treasure Films as a social enterprise to enable me, and experienced facilitators that I employ on a freelance basis, to work with young people and members of the community in making films.
