Welcome to Medway Public Screening

My latest film Welcome To Medway had its first public screening during Medway’s launch of the Cultural Olympiad. It was projected 40 foot high onto the side of Rochester Castle. The celebrations also included a Doodle Den workshop run by Wendy Daws and Päivi Seppälä as part of [FRAMEDWAY], my public art project.

Commissioned by Medway 2012 Team the film will be used to promote Medway nationally and internationally as both a first-class tourist destination and a sporting centre of excellence.
