Company activities and impact

ACTIVITY AWe secured emergency Arts Council funding to run online residencies with our collective of marginalised artists, envisioning what arts interventions we will co-create in person and online in future. We adapted our working methods and workshop format for the online space and provided equipment and internet access for those without.BENEFIT AThis kept our multiply-marginalised members employed in the arts industry, ensured their voice is amplified during a crisis which hits queer, trans, sex working people hardest, and provided educational opportunities for longer term individual and group sustainability. Exploring new ways to work digitally introduced resilience into our group and the equipment ensured access where people otherwise could not participate.ACTIVITY BWe built inroads into the film industry, exploring the possibility of a collectively written script, which according to Sundance and BFI representatives has 'never been done before'. We sought out industry mentors and documented our learning journey to make it open source to the community.BENEFIT BWe are opening new doors in a new medium after considerable success in the theatre and live performance world, to increase hardest-to-reach community representation on screen. If successful, this would set a precedent for de-hierarchising the film writing process, opening fiction film to collectives of people with lived experience of the subject matter, emulating the model that is standard practice in community theatre.ACTIVITY CThe moment the pandemic hit we organised a weekly social space online and encouraged small, localised mutual aid networks for our members.BENEFIT CThis was a lifeline during the first wave of COVID when no one knew what was happening, when some people's livelihoods dissolved overnight and where people were stuck in complex living circumstances, often isolated and concerned for their health.

Consultation with stakeholders

We led a big internal community consultation at the start of our new venture. Based on the needs, interests and perspectives of our members we crafted the collective learning journey in screenwriting, cinematography, storytelling, lighting, acting for camera, directing for camera and more. We involved our friends in other countries for instance the sex worker theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. We consulted them on the possibilities of digital collaboration via the British Council and laying the foundations for a more substantial collaboration in years to come.We engaged two core funders in visioning the film making process by developing a visually engaging short/medium/long term Film Visioning plan with multiple potential timelines, so they could share it amongst their colleagues and departments to become poetically engaged in the process and reflect on what forms of support they can provide going forward.

The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £9,480.There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
