WE ARE STORY : Conversation with DAVID ALMOND
This short film documents the recent visit by author DAVID ALMOND to a boys' comprehensive school in East Yorkshire. The heart of the film includes an interview with David within which he discusses the power of storytelling, the value of reading, how he became a producer of fiction that is specifically aimed at children and young adults, and how his own life informs his work. The film also attempts to capture the energy and humour of the students at Beverley Grammar School and also the beauty of the school's picturesque location. David Almond's SKELLIG is widely considered to be a classic work of children's fiction and it was an honour to have had the opportunity to shape a film that documents the thoughts of such a huge literary talent.
