‘Ann an Còi5’, meaning ‘In Five’ has been produced by independent company Sealladh, set up by Morag Stewart and Chris Young of Young Films in 2008. The young Gaelic presenters, with the help of the Sealladh team, have scripted, presented and conducted interviews for each of the programmes in the new series.
The series allows youngsters to tell the story of something which is very special to them, whether it be a place, pastime or person. Corrin Miller, a pupil from Inverness Royal Academy will be presenting the next programme being broadcast on Thursday 30th July on BBC ALBA.
Corrin, started running seriously at the age of 10. Soon afterwards she joined Inverness Harriers, the largest athletics club in the North of Scotland, where she is currently concentrating on her performance in the 800m.
In Ann an Còi5, Corrin, will demonstrate some of her training routines and the dedication required to progress in athletics.
She also interviews young shinty player Somhairle MacDonald, who emphasises the importance of training as well as the mental and physical preparation involved in all sporting activities.
The new series ‘Ann an Còi5’ has given emerging talent both behind and in front of the camera the opportunity to produce and broadcast their creative material. The stories have been brought to life by a production team which included young talent working in new challenging roles assisted and mentored throughout the production process.
‘Ann an Còi5’ will be broadcast on BBC ALBA on Thursday 30th July at 18:50 and is available on Sky channel 168 & Freesat channel 110.
