Our Logo
In August 2007 a winning logo design was chosen to reflect WFAC's new working name, Apex Arts. A graffiti-style logo by 17 year-old Chingford student, Kate Rowland, was chosen to reflect the more dynamic, contemporary image. Kate was awarded a prize of £100 and given the opportunity to work with professional graphic designer, Jim Cheatle, to make her design print-ready.

Apex Arts, through its Hitchcock Production Fund, has £10,000 for Waltham Forest filmmakers to produce new short films. The Fund runs each year and opens in early April. Films can be shot on any of these formats: Mini DV, DVCAM, HDV, HD, Beta SP, 16mm, or 36mm.

Film Workshops

The sessions were held at Leytonstone library and covered such skills as: Lighting by Cirro Lite (lighting experts for all Cinematographers); Working with Movie Tube (makes your MiniDV, DVCAM and HDV look like film) and Preparing a Short Film Budget, a lecture delivered by Rebecca Knapp of the New Producers Alliance.
