Thanks for all the love Spark a Light has been getting ⚡ ❤️

We were privileged to be supported by a brilliant crew so it’s really gratifying to be able to make an accompanying behind-the-scenes piece that shows a glimpse of what went on.

The behind-the-scenes content was shot by Tolu Odubanjo and then edited by myself and Rachael Cowley.

Earlier this year we were commissioned by e.on and MHP Group Group to bring to life the poem "Spark a Light" by the Coventry Poet Laureate John Bernard. This was a fantastic opportunity to make something cinematic, beautiful and meaningful right here in our hometown and we're really pleased that the finished film has now launched.

Our shooting schedule was bursting at the seams as Rachael Cowley and Karl Dixon set out to showcase as much of Coventry's highlights as possible, including Coventry Cathedral, Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry University, FarGo Village Coventry, Gosford Park Primary School, Coventry Boys and Girls Club - Club for young people and The Pod - Coventry.

Helping us to show off these fantastic locations were some fabulous local talents including...
