National Theatre Wales / Common Wealth: We’re Still Here, Filmmaker

I produced two films for National Theatre Wales for ‘We’re Still Here’, a co-production with Common Wealth which took place in a warehouse in Port Talbot overlooking the steel works. A challenge with filmmaking for new theatre shows is often promotional material is required while rehearsals are still in progress, before the actual sets and costumes are completed.

The teaser trailer featuring two actors from the show was made early in the rehearsal process, then the production trailer was filmed on the opening night and turned around quickly to be used to promote the show’s two week run.

Working with Situations and artist Verity Standen this film was made around Refrain, a national performance piece which took place over the summer of 2017. Refrain explored the history of conscientious objectors and how their story fits into how we remember conflict.
