#beingbritish

Over the past few weeks I've been catching up on a bunch of posts from the 'BEING BRITISH' project. & filmmaking experiment. The project brought together the talents of dozens of British filmmakers, from all corners of this beautifully complicated and culturally diverse island, and asked them to submit documentary footage, that attempted to answer the question 'WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BRITISH?' The film that resulted from all of these submissions can be found via the link in my bio... Thanks so much to everybody who dedicated their time towards the project and submitted stories - It was inspirational to work with you all and I have so enjoyed how our paths continue to cross to this day. For me, this final post, really sums up my own thoughts on what it means to 'BE BRITISH', directed by @marcalan shot by @steadiopie and featuring @thetomowen COLLABORATORS: @emilytheproducer @velvet_pictures @i_am_kayode @jessterwre @emilyjadehagan @georgetaylor @madeleine.penfold @willburgrass @_tomowen_ @thesteadicamman @kykellyofficial @theosmithuk @creative_fabs @nurse_krystal @dr_v1nn1e @agnesjones @1dsh1 @garysshh @rgovender2966 @cusworthjessica For more, check out the link in my bio... #BeingBritish #GreatBritain #UK #UnitedKingdom #Britain #LoveGreatBritain #British #film #filmmaker #director #indiefilm #ThroughTheLens #interview #documentaryfilmmaking #documentingbritain #documentary #shortfilm (at Newcastle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNNGuqqCl2/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Being British is incredibly privileged. For me, purpose is spending my small amount of time on the planet wisely. I mean, what more could you wanna do? You're never gonna learn something new, if you don't try and reach the best version of you." - @madeleine.penfold Stills and a shirt preview from my collaborative short documentary, 'Being British', which asked filmmakers from across Great Britain to capture the perspective of a person within their community, with the collective goal of asking the question, 'What does it mean to be British?'

"There's so many countries where it's still illegal to be gay. I have to remind myself, how thankful we are, when times do get hard, that we haven't had to go through that. It really doesn't matter whether you're gay/straight/thin/fat/black/white; we are all people. We are all human beings." - @kykellyofficial Still from my collaborative short documentary, 'Being British', which asked filmmakers from across Great Britain to capture the perspective of a person within their community, with the collective goal of asking the question, 'What does it mean to be British?'

"Being British, today, is about every single person that lives within our country; and we should embrace that! I'm somebody who just wants to do the right thing. Doesn't always know how to. Hasn't always done it. But at the end of the day, I am me; and I have to stand by that." - @theoasmithuk Frames and a preview from my collaborative short documentary, 'Being British', which asked filmmakers from across Great Britain to capture the perspective of a person within their community, with the collective goal of asking the question, 'What does it mean to be British?'
