Behind the scenes – filming children’s ‘Lockdown’ stories in Battersea

This Summer saw some 30+ Wandsworth councillors from all parties come together to film 7 popular children's stories by Julia Donaldson and Alex Sheffler (of "Gruffalo" fame). Many thanks to MacMillan Publishers for giving blanket permission to do this during the difficult months of Coronavirus and Lockdown, and Sandra Evangelista from Wandsworth Council for her concept, vision and drive, without which none of these lovely short films would've been made. To watch all 7 stories in the series, please click on the following playlist link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8T4INVfOM&list=PLBCzAwvFtP0HjfATx86Llr5poK3KX6u5A @MacMillanKidsUK @wandbc CREDITS Victor Castejon (https://www.youtube.com/user/thequickbrownfoxuk) Peter Fison (www.southwestlondon.tv) Wendy Phillips Kemi Akinola Tony Belton Rosemary Birchall Kim Caddy Louise Calland Jonathan Cook Jane Cooper Annamarie Critchard Paul Ellis Adrian Flook Clare Fraser Judi Gasser Ravi Govindia Angela Graham Peter Graham Malcolm Grimston Melanie Hampton Graham Henderson Guy Humphries Ian Lewer John Locker Rhodri Morgan Lucy Mowatt Jo Rigby Mike Ryder Claire Salier Kate Stock Steffi Sutters
