And more!

It's clear in the film how important community is to Adrian, and his team is just that: his community. So we couldn't just celebrate one person, and got to share the love with the team.

They help Adrian make his dream come true, and bring what he learnt in Handsworth to audiences across the country.

We've had such a great reception to 'A Dumpling Story' with screenings across the UK and now we will be showing at the BAFTA-qualifying 'Flatpack' this May at the incredible in Digbeth!

And... we've also been selected to screen at on 3rd May.

One of the big aims of is to showcase local stories across the nation, to challenge negative perceptions and to rewrite the narrative of the West Midlands. So to have our first film have this much success is incredible and a real measure of the talent and stories we have in our home region.

Big thanks to the entire team who worked with us on this film. We can't wait to see you all at Flatpack and Wolves in May.

There couldn't be 'A Dumpling Story' without the incredible Sabrina. Thank you so much for welcoming us into .co , making us your very delicious dumplings, and sharing your story.

You are the heart of your community in Kings Heath, and were the heart of our story too.

It was only after releasing 'A Dumpling Story' did we realise just how well connected and adored you are by so many Brummies! Without you, there is no film, and no dumplings!

So thank you Sabrina, plus , , , , and the community of Kings Heath for making this dream, a reality.

Big up the incredible production team we had on 'A Dumpling Story'.

is all about local stories told by local creatives, and we are super proud of the work our team produced across a busy two day shoot in Kings Heath.

We believe in working with junior talent across the region to give them an opportunity to work on commercial level film, so that they can continue to hone their craft at home, rather than needing to move down to London.

So thanks to our production team of:
