A SHORT FESTIVE FILM FROM EAST LONDON
A short film commissioned by Hackney Council to celebrate the east London Borough
Another collaboration with film making partner Jack Flynn for Hackney Council - we were commissioned to make a short film for the festive season celebrating the borough’s community spirit.
We really enjoyed working on this project - it was brilliant to hear so many positive stories coming from what has been a really difficult time for many people.
Despite the difficulties of working under Covid restrictions and time limitations we were able to make a hopeful piece which has been well received.
