Breaking Mould. Filming in Poole at MouldCAM, watching Poseidon cutting EPS is mesmerising.

Community

BBC Radio 4 is asking "Whatever happened to community?" at the moment. We at Dogtooth Films have been filming recently in Jaywick, Essex, and one of the biggest impressions we came away with was how strong the community there is. 

We are making a series of films for Healthwatch about how people can use their consumer rights to better engage with health and social services.

Times are tough, especially in Jaywick, but people told us over and over again how much they love their town, how they all know the people in their street to chat to and how they wouldn't want to live anywhere else. One man said he has the keys to eight of his neighbours' houses and regularly steps in to help them. 

We met some great people at the Grub Club, a FoodCycle project providing a hot three-course meal to people who need it in Clacton. We saw that many people aren’t happy unless they are able to help make their community a better place, especially for those having a rough time.

So a big thank you to the people of Jaywick and Clacton who shared their stories with us.

Listen to James Newton and Dee Rudebeck from Dogtooth Films talking on BBC radio Sussex today about our 14 Lines Sonnets project.

The 1st Sonnet to be filmed, Oct 26th...

No. 138

When my love swears that she is made of truth I do believe her, though I know she lies, That she might think me some untutor'd youth, Unlearned in the world's false subtleties. Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Although she knows my days are past the best, Simply I credit her false speaking tongue: On both sides thus is simple truth suppress'd. But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old? O, love's best habit is in seeming trust, And age in love loves not to have years told:    Therefore I lie with her and she with me,    And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.

14 lines, 14 people, 1 film, 153 to go

We are set to film one of the most expansive British art projects ever undertaken - and we are calling for members of the public to be a part of it.

Dogtooth will film all of William Shakespeare's 154 sonnets - recited by ordinary, everyday Britons in every corner of the UK - using some of the nation's most iconic landmarks and scenery as backdrops - as well as some not-so-pretty locations too.

Not only will the project bring to life some of the most powerful love poems ever written, it will be an historic snapshot of Briton today.

The first film will be shot in Brighton and we want you, whoever you are, to play a part. This is not a job for actors, although we won't turn you away if you have performed before.

We particularly want to hear from people with no acting experience. And from people of all ages and diverse backgrounds.

There are no lines to learn - autocue will be provided - all you have to do is come as you are.

Friends Meeting House Ship Street, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AF Saturday October 26th 10.30am - 2.30pm Time commitment: 15mins
