This may lead to, initially, further training and voluntary opportunities with our company in posts such as researcher, editor, producer, lighting technician etc, as well as leading groups and training themselves.Resource Development - There can be workshops designed around these films so they can be used as a teaching resource for various services with a view to educate and tackle stigma and stereotypes associated with drug use, as well as used as a preventative and harm-reduction tool.Create films for drug/youth/ other services and social organisations to promote their work.Microdot Films is still in it's in infancy and we have just received funding from FirstPort to support our set-up.
