Alice in Wonderland
(a film to accompany a theatrical performance)
Working with Chard Home Education Group.


This short excerpt gives you an idea of the very high film making standard the group achieved. Children as young as six, young people, parents and grandparents worked together to shoot their scenes. After shooting footage out on location at Dillington House (see excerpt) and Chard Reservoir participants set to work on the editing process. The group made short film sequences marking key moments from Lewis Caroll's text. These sequences accompanied the group’s theatrical performance of Alice in Wonderland performed at Chard Guild Hall in the summer of 2011.


The project was supported by Somerset Film and Video and the Company of Voices project.
