We are very excited to let you know that we will be working with Caroline and Dave of Huckleberry Films over the coming months to help us to document the Ground UP programme in SW Burnley.
The interviews were held last week and each one of the artists/organisations would have brought something unique to the programme and would have created work which would do justice to the memories, lives, creativity and future of the people of South West Burnley. We'd like to thank everyone who we interviewed for their interest in the project, for their time and for coming to meet with us. It was very inspiring.
Huckleberry Films proposed to create a mixed live action and animated film which would bring together the many strands of our work in SW Burnley including the artist residencies, the conversations, photos and films that people have contributed to the SW Streets Museum and the stories of some of the amazing people who live in the area. You can find out more about them and their work on their website.
Huckleberry Films proposal and approach shone out above the others. They had a clear understanding of our vision and values and we are confident they will produce a piece of work that everyone can be proud of. They also received the most votes on our online poll (although the numbers of votes were low!)
You will see them out and about over the next few months and Caroline will be joining us at the Fold in the morning (craft session 10-12) to begin meeting people and making plans.
