I’m currently working on the edit of a short information film to be shown in prison visitors centres in the North West. It’s a really important project because it’s been made with offenders families themselves, not with scripted actors. It’s designed to put people visiting the prison at ease, and to reassure them that a lot of people go through the same experience every day.
The shoot was great, and it was an exciting pleasure to film at one of the UK’s most renown institutions and be accommodated and respected by all the staff there. Everyone is behind the project. There have been a lot of new experiences, too: using blue screen effects and dubbing into multiple languages have been interesting challenges.
