‘No Map Needed’ completed and available to watch.
In June 2011 we completed a live action documentary for Sunningdale School, commissioned through Nine Dots/ Creative Partnerships.
Sunningdale is a school in Sunderland who work with children with profound learning needs. The film documents how the school embeds creativity into their teaching strategy. Its a real eye opener into the learning needs of the children and the high quality of response by the teaching staff.
