A student from Harrow has received £300 to run a series of video filming and editing workshops.
Haris Abu, 23, who lives on Rutland Road in Harrow, won the funding from O2 Think Big to work with young people to run a film-making project.
The film will focus on fashion and Mr Abu will be involved from the creative brainstorming right up to final editing.
Filming will start in March 2013.
Once the film is completed, in July 2013, Mr Abu and his team will promote it through blogs and social media.
In addition to the financial support, the 23-year old will receive substantial training and mentoring from O2 professionals to help start his career.
