I produced this film for a youth theatre project devised by Play On Words Community Theatre, filmed on location at Fort Amherst and The Great Lines, Chatham.

Stirring Spirits was a free eight week drama and filming making project, culminating in a special outdoor performance at Fort Amherst, Chatham. Audiences were invited to travel to the different locations with the performers, taking inspiration from each setting and characters from times gone by.

This film was projected as a backdrop to the live performance, enabling the performers to interact with the projected visuals. Watch Stirring Spirits here.

The Accentuate programme aims to get disabled people the recognition they deserve. I was commissioned to film the launch event at the Brighton Dome on the International Day of Disabled People, and 1,000 days before the start of the 2012 Paralympic Games – Accentuate has given itself those 1,000 days to make a cultural shift in people’s views. Award-winning actor Mat Fraser joined critically acclaimed BBC TV producer Ewan Marshall and Paralympic Games gold medallist Danny Crates on a panel discussion about the projects aims.

Accentuate is an ambitious transformational programme of 15 projects. The South East was the birthplace of the Paralympic Games and Accentuate will now carry the baton to continue the journey ensuring disabled people have the potential to be the leaders of tomorrow, in whatever field they choose.

I led a filmmaking workshop for BBC Blast when it visited Medway last week – 15 students, 4 cameras, 4 hours!

We covered areas of basic camera operation, interviewing techniques and production roles. I also took part in a ‘speed dating’ Meet The Professionals session where industry professionals were grilled by 50 young people who want their jobs.

Blast aims to inspire and motivate young people to develop their creative talents and showcase their art, dance, film, music, writing, games and fashion on a range of digital platforms.
