CINEMAGOERS might be queuing up to catch the latest instalment of the Scary Movie series.

But a 14 youngsters from Radcliffe have already had their own "chiller thriller" movie premiered on the silver screen.

Their masterpiece, Keep the Fire Burning, focuses on the concept of surviving a biological warfare attack, and was supported through Lottery cash from the UK Film Council.

Keep The Fire Burning was filmed at Burrs Country Park, Bury, in October, and took three days to shoot using camera, lighting and sound equipment, provided by Paul Gilchrist at One Way Youth Programme.

The premiere was at the Y Zone, Westminster Avenue, Radcliffe, before a specially-invited audience.

The five-minute film was produced by 14 in a partnership between Bury Council's Youth Service, King George's Community Centre, One Way Youth Programme and HI8US Firstlight Ltd.
