The Aim
To create a film that not only celebrates the last 50 years of Weald & Downland but celebrates the next 50 years too.
The movie will speak to the volunteers, the specialists, the conservationists, the investors, the pioneers and the passionate alike. We wanted to tell a story of the people and the place that has a clear future-focussed feel and message to end on. It’s about where we have been, but also about where we are going. The series of short films will have a strong future focus message that juxtaposes the past with the present and the future. This is the red thread.
We elevated the film by using Christopher Timothy as the voiceover, most known for his role as James Herriot in All Creatures Great and Small, Doctors and Eastenders. Christopher is an ambassador for the musuem, and his smooth dulcit Welsh tones are an easy listen that help further communicate the importance of the living museum.
