Turning a written poem into a multi-character film

Celebrating their year of culture in 2022, the Knowsley region commissioned a film based around a poem written by local wordsmith Curtis Watt. The result was “Twenty-Two voices”. A short film that highlighted the hidden local heroes of the north-western borough and celebrated it’s heritage and culture.
