Water Histories

A short film made in collaboration with students from Holyrood Academy, Chard.

Production Update: Since finishing the workshop sessions with Holyrood students I have been working on the film in my studio; selecting clips, organising images, overlaying sounds. Finally, I spent a day editing with Richard Tomlinson who assisted with the sound, captions and other technical details. Now the final edits are finished and the film is ready to screen at Chard Guildhall (see previous post for event info).

Stills from Mystery Rain Rods
