Creativity Takes Confidence
by Mollie Tuttle Youth NetworkArt is all about opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. But because of this, we as artists invest so much of ourselves into our work and to show that to the world can make you feel exposed and vulnerable. It's often hard to trust your opinion, that what you're creating is of a high quality, and it takes guts to share that work with others.

Random Acts: A bit of the Journey
by Julie ColmanThis blog was written by Puffin Ethics a young spoken word artist from Herefordshire.
I could probably write a small book about my experience making a film with the Rural Media company for this Random Acts Project, but I've tried really hard not to. I also tried hard not to open with a clique...obviously not hard enough. No one's got time for books anymore anyway, that's why you want to make a film, right? I'll try and keep it snappy. -
