Step aside, Hollywood... Peterborough is rolling out the red carpet!

Renowned drama school The Young Actors Company proudly presents the YAC Film Fest 2025, a dazzling afternoon of film, glamour, and rising stars. Join us at The Cresset for a prestigious red carpet event, celebrating the next generation of filmmaking talent. 

Showcasing a spectacular selection of original short films written, performed, and produced by our talented Screen Academy students (ages 9–20), this year’s festival features everything from gripping suspense and laugh-out-loud comedy to moving drama and spine-tingling horror, all directed by a powerhouse team: Jack Eccles, Jack Ward, and Abbie Shrimpton. 

🎟️ Every ticket includes entry to our glittering welcome party and a front-row seat to watch our young stars shine as they arrive in style down the red carpet. 

Get ready for a cinematic celebration like no other. This is more than a film festival, it’s a fantastic event, celebrating the film stars and filmmakers of the future. Glam up, grab your popcorn, and prepare to be inspired.
