Director Statement

Due to the pandemic here in Oxford, UK (2020). Much like everywhere else many events were cancelled. This short film was part of the work being done with Oxford City Council and the Oxford Open Doors – Oxford Preservation Trust. With my love of history and nature I was delighted to get involved.
