Filmclub Ambassador Role for Instow School's Dorothy

Movie mad

Dorothy McCormack from Instow School in North Devon has been selected to be a Young

Ambassador for the national organisation Filmclub. 

As a

Filmclub Young Ambassador, ten year old Dorothy will be invited to interview

film makers and movie stars at events around the country.

Dorothy was

chosen from hundreds of Filmclub members who had their eye on the red carpet

role. 

To pass the

first stage of the audition process Dorothy wowed the selection panel with

her video interview of Emma Giffard, project manager of the North Devon Movie

Bus.  The judges were sufficiently

impressed to invite Dorothy to the London auditions.

At the

Actors Centre in London’s theatre district, together with scores of other hopefuls, Dorothy

showed what she was made of in a series of testing improvisation sessions. 

“It was

just like X Factor” says Dorothy “there were TV cameras and a panel of judges.  I was nervous at the start but by the end I

was just having fun!”

After a

long train ride home to North Devon and a couple of antagonising weeks waiting

Dorothy finally heard the good news, she says 

“I’m so pleased to have been chosen out of all the people and that makes

me feel proud that I worked hard to get this.”

Next step

will be a media training day for all the newly selected Ambassadors and then

it’s off to the red carpet for her first assignment!
