Filming 'The Production'
By François Matarasso - 11th January, 2012
The second rough cut of Ben Wigley‘s film for Where we dream is done. It follows some of the company members through rehearsals to the performance at the Alex in Birmingham last November. It really catches the enthusiasm and warmth of the Operatic Society at work – or is it play?
We’re still working on the final shape of the film to make its story both clear and rich, so I’ve shown it to a few people who don’t know the project or the company. Reactions have been good and helped us see places where we need to rethink. Meanwhile, work on the book continues with the text and film subtly influencing one another.
Oh, and the launch date has been chosen – coming soon.
