Naimh Armstrong: On A Different Planet
Into Film
We were commissioned to produce a fun and uplifting short film that highlights the challenges facing Year 6 & 7 pupils as they prepare for, and experience, transition to secondary school. Into Film wanted a short film that presented difficult topics in an inventive way and used a clever concept to do so.
We chose to illustrate the daunting prospect of transition by depicting the main character as an astronaut landing in an alien world. And how using mindfulness can be a handy tool when navigating your way around a new environment.
The film, which was shot in an actual school setting, and features cast of actual pupils and TV actress Roxy Shahidi from Emmerdale.
This entertaining Sci-Fi comedy film has been a hit with young people for its quirky inventiveness at tackling transition and mindfulness. It is used as national primary schools’ resource as part of the national curriculum PSHE framework.
