The Screening – 25th September 2022

We had been planning the screening at Exeter Phoenix for some time and thanks are due to Claire Horrocks at Digital / Studio 74 for her help and support with arrangements. The long awaited day finally arrived and everyone arrived in good time ready for a 2.00pm start. Steph from the drama group was the first …

We’re Almost There!

Well, we have finally done it! The documentary is almost complete! Simon has done a grand job with the edit and there is just a musical soundtrack for some sections due to be added into the mix in the near future. I would offer that it is a heart-warming documentary and includes contributions from everyone who …

The Journey Continues…..

So! Much water under the bridge since my last post. Where were we? During late September / October 2020, following our decision not to continue with our original adventure film, we cautiously set about filming the documentary of our efforts instead. We managed eight sessions face to face sessions at Otterhayes during September /October 2020. …

A Change In Direction

Otterhayes has been in a strict lockdown over the past six months as a result of having vulnerable residents living there. Things have gone well with no Covid cases on site. This is good news given that the group home continues to be under scrutiny from the CQC. During the course of the lockdown I …

The Coronavirus Pandemic

  The Coronavirus lockdown has meant there have been no drama sessions at Otterhayes since 12th March 2020 with the intention of lessening the footfall there and so protecting the residents’ well-being. I felt very sorry to let the residents down with their drama sessions but, of course, it was the best and only course …

2020: NEW BEGINNINGS WITH A REBUILT MAIN SET

  Since the Otterhayes Managers offered us a workshop as a dedicated studio space we have been renovating the main set salvaged from the original drama building. It is an excellent working space and we are lucky to have use of it, but when we took it over, it certainly did not look much like …

WE MOVE INTO OUR NEW FILM STUDIO

During May we received the good news from Otterhayes Managers that the workshop promised us had been cleared and was ready for us to move in. We were very happy : ) It is an excellent space. It is slightly bigger than our original activity room and needs a little renovation work but we have …

April 2019 – A New Year Update…

At the end of 2018, with our funds dwindling, we were very happy to receive a further £3950 grant  from the Rix Thompson Rothenberg Foundation. The Rix Thompson Rothenberg Foundation have always been brilliant in that they have consistently supported the project when no-one seemed to want to! They were the very first to fund …

A Review of 2018 – the year we began filming…..

So, as we edge towards the end of 2018 what have we achieved as a working team? Well, together we have managed to create quite a sophisticated Main Set (or is it as a mixed-media- creative-play-space?) And in this space we have created a film trailer which can be seen on this website. Looking back …
