With the premiere just a few days away, Project Manager Nicola Dixon talked to me about how the idea for the project took shape. It was recorded during a very blustery day in composer Dave Bainbridge's garden!

is a young peoples film project taking place in Goole, East Yorkshire UK. We are empowering 13-20 year olds with researching, writing, acting, directing, animation, filming and editing skills to create a silent movie.
What's it all about?
Goole Arts Officer, Nicola Dixon, took a group of young people to an International Youth Theatre festival in Poland. One of the items in the festival was a showing of Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid'. The young people enjoyed the film so much they began thinking about creating our own silent film based on the history of our local area.
Following a successful funding bid to Heritage Lottery Fund the young people helped recruit and chose three professionals: David Bunting (animator), Peter M Kershaw (producer and film-maker) and Madeleine Frost (dramatist)
