Digital me!
Digital technology provides an opportunity for us to explore, innovate, access and improve our lives. This month we’ve been going bonkers championing the use of digital technology. We’ve interviewed residents across Stockport to find out how and why they use digital, the results have been a mixed bag as expected. The use of digital covers everything from taking an image on a digital camera to using an app on your phone, to video calling your nan in Austria to using AI for all sorts!!!
We created an entirely new web page for this project as its something we want to keep growing, so check it out here https://www.sazmedia.co.uk/education . We can learn so much from conversations with others and we think in order for us to get more comfortable online, then seeing useful videos like these is a great place to start.
So check out the videos and let us know what you think. Will you become a digital champion?
Filming for Pursuing Individual Excellence (PIE)
In December we filmed across Stockport and at Manchester Metropolitan University with PIE a Social Enterprise. We created a film for them that showcases their organisation and their Into the Mix Programme, that seeks to support new students get acclimated into High School and to help bring positive social change to them and their communities.
This film was expertly project managed by Sara, filmed by Phil and Jake and edited by Jake.
Beth Nunn (Founder and Director of PIE) “ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT” and said her colleague started crying (in a good way) as they recognised all their hardwork come to life through this film.
Watch it and let us know if you need creative and thoughtful content for your organisation.
Wow what an amazing Launch Party!
A huge thank you to everyone who came to the SAZ MEDIA launch party at Merseyway Workshop. As you can see from the images it was a huge success and has inspired us to party more often!
We kicked off the event with a warm welcome to everyone, then presented the inspiring launch of www.wifilm.eu which is funded partly by Erasmus. This platform will inspire and educate women on roles in the film industry, as we know film is a male dominated career so it’s been really amazing to see that initiatives such as the WIFI project are still being constructed. We look forward to sharing the finished platform with you circa September 2022 where you will have access to a range of resources for free!
We also discussed up and coming workshops, volunteering and a community darkroom!
It was fantastic to see people from all over the Stockport community come to enjoy themselves together.
A huge thank you to Ailsa McPhee who led the dancing, Ailsa is an inspiration to us all and we can't thank her enough for the great music and entertainment.
Could this be a regular thing, last Friday of the month? Let us know if you’d like to attend.
Enjoy the pictures, Sara & Team :)
TRACO UK Film Production
The Saz Media team recently travelled to Portsmouth to produce a film for TRACO UK - fellow participants of the Impact Hub King’s Cross Assets Programme run in partnership with Wates. TRACO UK are a Social Enterprise and furniture relocation and recycling company who focus on sustainability and providing employment opportunities for disadvantaged people. The film production is a celebration of TRACO UK’s social impact and business development during the Assets Programme.
We had a great time working with TRACO UK and look forward to further solidifying our new relationship, and those with our other Social Enterprise peers - all thanks to Wates, the Impact Hub and their Assets Programme.
Below are a selection of photographs taken during the film production. Subscribe to our Newsletter for further updates on film production, social impact and our involvement in the Assets Programme, or follow us on social media at:
