RUNNING ON FUMES

2021

Running on Fumes was Commissioned by Historic England as part of Future of the High Street; and was created in collaboration with ten young people in St Helens.

Aided by archive images, the group worked together to devise a piece of creative writing which explored their experiences of St Helens High Street, the impact of Covid-19, and their hopes for the future. The piece was then recorded as spoken word and used alongside conversations to create a soundtrack - that influenced the shooting and editing process of the final film.
