We’ve spent the last 2 years working on our latest documentary - ‘Farming on the Edge’. And we are absolutely delighted to announce its official selection in the Sunderland Shorts Film Festival on Saturday 17th May. Tickets in bio!
For 18 months we got to know the wonderful Paul Johnson, the man at the heart of our story. Living at a higher altitude creates a harsh environment for Paul to farm in, but that doesn’t stop him from doing everything in his power to protect the wildlife that lives there, even if it has an impact on his own life.
