DREAM AGENCY

The project

In 2018, the theatre company Forest Fringe - taking a sabbatical from their decade of enabling people to put on shows at the Edinburgh Fringe - ran a year long DIY film school at Somerset House with the notion that at the end of the year - they and a group of amateur film obsessives - would make a feature film.

My involvement

As Executive Producer on the project I helped the team to raise enough funds in our crowdfunder to make it a reality and I was one of 15 writers who collectively created a script together through a number of workshops and sessions.

September 2019 we went to Jersey for three weeks for the shoot.

In 2022, the film was premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival

This was the film I made to support the successful crowdfunder “In September 2019 Forest Fringe and a team of artists and volunteers, working with a professional cinematographer and sound recordist, will shoot a full-length feature film in the space of three weeks in Jersey, with anyone welcome to participate in the process. The film will be strange, sad, comic and inventive. It will tell the story of story a “Dream Agency” on a remote British island that recreates people's most vividly remembered dreams.”
