Boris gives Exposure £10k for new teen sketch show!
No but, yes but! Exposure gives the next generation a push
Exposure has received a grant for £10,000 from the Mayor’s Team London Small Grants Fund to develop an issues-based teen sketch show called 'Teen London'.
Inspired by BBC comedy sketch show ‘Little Britain’, Teen London will engage local young people to create, film and promote a series of satirical comedy sketches. The idea behind the project is to:
• explore/tackle difficult teen issues in a lighthearted and rewarding way;
• highlight/satirize young people’s behaviour, and adult attitudes to it;
• challenge stereotypes and break down barriers between adults and teenagers;
• promote the Exposure charity to a broader audience.
Volunteers will ensure the sketches are authentic, humorous and identifiably from a youth perspective but without alienating/excluding adults.
Exposure’s head of film, Enrico Tessarin said, “It’s an exciting little project. If we get it right we hope to attract the attention of mainstream broadcasters.”
The Mayor’s fund aims to help thousands of vulnerable Londoners who rely on community groups like Exposure to improve their lives and enhance their prospects. Exposure is one of 60 community groups in the capital receiving funding.
