Fifth Continent on Film
Volunteers Required for Filming Events
Screen South are in search of volunteers to capture footage of a number of events taking place on the Marsh in Kent during June-August 2021. Screen South have filmmaking equipment available to be used for these sessions and volunteers’ travel costs can be covered.
The Projects:
The Marsh Mosaics
Screen South and Fifth Continent are creating 10 community mosaics to highlight the heritage and wildlife of Romney Marsh, for display in 10 of the medieval churches.
We would like to capture footage of people working on the mosaics within the churches, as well as some positive testimonials from workshop participants. Ideally, we would like to film at all the churches, so to help showcase the buildings and communities.
