Bulwell Forest Garden Crowdfunding Social Media Short
“From the beginning, Dee took the time to get to know the charity, the people and the challenges we are dealing with, and used this information to structure the video with maximum impact. Dee is flexible in her approach and worked patiently with our ever changing landscape and routines. She was professional throughout the process, gave direction and put people at ease, and produced an amazing video (along with an additional short version for our socials). I can't recommend Dee highly enough!"

Her knowledge of child development, education, cultural organisations and key partners in Nottingham ensures that she asks the right questions in her documentary style film making and quickly understands the aims and purpose of all her work.”
