Supporting local filmmakers is a key aspect of everything we do at CineWyre - so we were delighted to sample Blackpool and the Fylde College's world class media facilities last week.

There is so much untapped potential across the region, and our festival is a perfect way to launch into the industry. We'll have more exciting news to share in due course!

It's going to be a session to remember, just as it was at our sister event in Fleetwood.

By popular demand, the Fylde Coast's own Ryan Green - a stunt performer who has worked on 1917, The Marvels, Star Wars: Andor and many other big productions - will deliver his Life of a Stunt Performer session at this year's LYIFF. It was one of *the* moments of CineWyre Film Festival back in February, and we are over the moon to bring this eye-opening session to Lytham International.

Learn from Ryan's experiences at the Methodist Church, from 1.15pm on Saturday 5th September - tickets are incredibly limited, and you can book yours at lyiff.com.
