Film & Music

These are all short films I have either made myself of been part of a wider collaborative productive process.

A short stop motion film made as a light-hearted COVID recovery activity using an old painting, a rubber frog and a set of dominoes. The soundtrack is an improvisation on “Dark Sand” by Jilly Jarman, with Paul Froggatt on soprano sax.
Soundtrack – Jilly and Ronald Amanze; words and concept – Sarah Wallcook; artwork and film editing – Jilly Jarman
