The MediaCAST Identity

Basically Media CAST is made up of students of who study Media within the Institute of Art & Design, in Mosta. Along with the students there are the lecturers. All in all, Media CAST is a one small family. Media CAST was raised during the last semester (2009/2010).

As a Media CAST, with the Higher National Diploma first years produced the programme “Int min Int?”. And Ian Attard and Eleonora Abela as the executive producers. The filming for “Int min Int?” started in January 2009.

Mainly, this is a cultural programme about art in all aspects.  They let the viewers extent their knowledge on what is happening in the world of art. In each programme they are interviewed many artists, getting to see exhibitions and many local artists/bands performing. “Int min Int?” is still going on but now it will be aired on TVM instead of E22.

Apart from the production, “Int min Int?” as a whole Media CAST they also filmed the budget 2010. Participated also in some short films festivals such as: The Malta International Film Festival (Tony Parnis), Golden Nights and also the Malta Cine Circle.

They also produced promos about Internet Safety for the client, Helen D’amato (Children’s Commissioner). Right now they are in the process of being chosen.

Media CAST was also involved with Circom (www.circom-regional.eu) in collaboration with PBS. Circom consists of several seminars in relation with journalism. These kinds of seminars are held every few months. The Irish, Michael Lally is the president of Circom Regional and also the Head of Irish Naucht (News).

Being asked, two students from the Higher National Diploma in Media Moving Image Year 2 shared their experiences they had through Circom. Apparently, Circom were doing a seminar in Malta and the Circom itself discovered determination, enthusiasm and ambition in these students that they were given the opportunity held by a “competition” to get chosen to go abroad. Once they were chosen and went abroad they were requested to follow some tasks, blog it, create stories and then choosing the best ones.
