Film Workshops
We offer artist-led filmmaking workshops on bespoke themes.
​
Our workshops are for both new and experienced filmmakers and moving image artists to practice slowing down and refreshing how we look at the world. We take time to be playful, and to look at small things. We find our voice.
​
We make both individual and collaborative films.
​
We make filmmaking accessible to all by using the phone cameras in our pockets.
Tabletop workshops
Responding to themes, stories and ideas as inspiration, Rachel Pearson supports the playful creation of small individual sets or dioramas on a tabletop, with specially chosen objects and lighting.
​
Rebecca E Marshall works with participants (one-to-one or in groups) to film the sets with phone cameras and to explore inner and outer worlds.
​
We film both personal treasures and found objects. These can include photographs, artworks, writing and poetry, drawing from both personal and public archives and collections. We can also use Rachel's collection of found objects and from her work as a practicing silversmith.
​
We write and record voice-over and homemade sound effects.​
Walking in Nature
We walk in nature with our phone cameras. Both new and experienced filmmakers and artists can participate as a small group or in one-to-one sessions.
The aim is to slow down and observe details of the landscape with our cameras; the layers, shadows, light, textures and movements revealed when we pay deeper attention.
The core intention is to refresh our attention by looking through a lens. There is no expectation to make a film as an output.
What can we expect?
Our filmmaking workshops explore how it feels to slow down into a creative and mindful space of looking and playing.
​
The filmmaking experience (even with phone-cameras) triggers new seeing and creative engagements with the world and each other in a daily context.
​
We experience how the processes in filmmaking can help us find, hone and protect our creative, curious, questioning, conversational and authentic voice.

Workshops can be tailored for participants from 7 years+ and of any skillset.
