Project Overview:

‘and, then, they…’ is a short dance and digital 2D animation and pixilation film made in collaboration with Flicker Mill and communities in Central Bedfordshire.

Synopsis: In ‘And Then They,’ a collage of diverse voices emerge as people are interviewed about a character called Alex.  Memories of Alex’s swamp-dwelling aspirations, mud-rolling weekends quickly unfold as the film becomes a poignant exploration of identity, prompting viewers to question how well we truly know others and the intricacies that shape an enigmatic figure like Alex.

We were delighted to work with community groups in Central Bedfordshire to create the content of the film:

• Creative Connections (Ampthill group)
• Redborne Upper School & Community College
• Vacani School of Dance
• MacIntyre
• Carers in Bedfordshire
