In 2013 Watershed’s second group of talented young people, whilst learning the skills needed to be the producers of the future, worked on a whole host of cultural projects. They divided into teams to coordinate four exciting projects: a mad hatter’s tea party at Watershed’s Pervasive Media Studio as part of the nation-wide Family Arts Festival; late-night fim screenings and an immersive event around Kubrick’s The Shining as part of the BFI Gothic season; Electric December – Watershed’s advent calendar of new short films from young people around the world; and again,Fresh Flix as part of the 2013 Encounters Festival.

Alongside the core programme Watershed also ran Future Producers Plus in 2013, in association with RIO. The programme provides participants with additional mentoring so they can take on leadership roles and achieve the Gold Arts Award qualification.
