AGM Premiere's local film.

 I went to my first zoom AGM yesterday and watched the premiere of a film created by Trestle Theatre about the local community.  

Originally they had hoped to create a theatre piece with them, and at the time I had talked with them about some of the racism that my son had faced in the area.  Then the lockdown came and the project shifted, and I did not think that the new project was aimed at people like me however, the director remembered our conversation and asked me to contribute.   Watching myself last night was quite emotional.  I did not realise when it was filmed that I had been that emotional.   What is lovely now though is to see it alongside other people's contributions and to hear their stories, their poems, and their thoughts.   I really like the way the company have integrated our preparations with the contributions, very clever and how lovely to see how varied the local people are.    Just follow the link head over to their webpages to find out more.
