Film Launch
The Trust had its first film launch on 15 November 2012 at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. The film was specially commissioned by the Trust and was produced by Teeny Tiny Films. In May 2012 Trust staff and Teeny Tiny Films visited six schools in Scotland, each school having a number of armed forces children enrolled.
Children at each school were filmed talking about how they cope with the deployment of a parent, currently to Afghanistan. The finished film was shown to a large invited audience at Dynamic Earth and the children who appeared in the film were able to attend and given the red carpet treatment expected by film stars! Feedback on the day and subsequently has been very positive and the RCET has developed a resource pack to go with the film and appointed Moira Leslie, a very experienced retired Headteacher, to introduce the film and the resource materials in a rolling programme at schools across Scotland where there are armed forces children enrolled.
