ABOUT US
Hi8us South is part of the national registered charity Hi8us Projects and works on collaborative media for and with young people across London and the south of England.
Hi8us is now firmly established at the UK’s leading practitioner in producing collaborative professional media with young people.
Since Hi8us was established in 1994, we have provided young people across the UK with opportunity to gain first hand media production experience and to collaborate with media professionals to ensure that their own stories and experiences reach the mainstream media.
In the words of one of our producers from UK Sound TV, our youth-run East London broadband channel:
‘It is basically for youth by youth. For us by us. We are involved on every level in making it happen.’
This kind of grass roots involvement is typical of the work we provide.
OUR CORE AIMS:
- Reaching young people at risk of social exclusion and enabling them to articulate their experiences and tell their own stories
- Enabling young people to employ their talents to create media and to, in turn, use this experience as a catalyst for change in their own lives and communities
- Create ground-breaking television, film and new media through a unique collaboration between filmmakers, web-designers and non-professional participants
Hi8us South also undertakes commissions and develops broadcast productions with our sister company APT films.
