Films

No two projects are ever the same. I would hope that whatever you have in mind will be different again. So, your project shouldn’t be ‘exactly’ represented by any of the films here. However I hope that what is here will help in-still some faith in my ability to help you realise your vision. 
Get in touch so that we can start crafting and creating together.

Andrew Crummy and The Cancer Tapestry (2022) 2 Mins 0 Sec

A teaser for the short documentary due in Autumn 2023. Andrew Crummy’s work continues to change lives, involving every day people in extraordinary projects.

The Great Tapestry of Scotland – brain child of Alexander McCall-Smith – is the biggest public art project ever to be undertaken and, if anything, his life new project, the Cancer Tapestry, could be bigger still.

“Movie Makers” Summer Camp, Perth (2019) 2 Min 20 Sec

Typical of learning camps for kids which I’ve done for all ages and for varying periods of time (1 day – 3 days) – the learning usually revolves around a theme and culminates in a final “film festival” presentation to families on the last day. Could be adapted into a variety of configurations so send me your ideas… 

What Keeps You Well – “Over the Hills” (2019) 2 Mins 20 Sec

Captured very opportunistically as I passed this group meeting outside of a cafe in Stirling. I stopped and asked to film them and they obliged. I’m interested in the ways in which people keep themselves well and for this group of retirement aged cyclists it involves chat, coffee and cake!
