Bendy Caravans and Everlasting Pens

Beyond a sprinkling of people from his locality, Evered Wigg is someone nobody is likely to have heard of. In the early 1920s the village of Kessingland in Suffolk had its own cinema, the Kinnodrome. It was built and run by this unsung pioneer of radio, inventor and visionary. Born in the Victorian era into the Wigg family of Barnby, the Agricultural Implement Manufacturers, the documentary charts his youth, his involvement in both world wars and his work up to his death in the late 1960s. It portrays the many facets from the humorous to the profound of this complex individual and humanitarian. Commercially unsuccessful and regarded in the village as an ‘eccentric’, we learn about Evered through his own words from his diaries and stories told of him by members of his family and people who knew him. It features the talents of Tony Scannell and Suffolk based and internationally exhibited artist Mark Burrell. With more than a hint of nostalgia it is also a human story hopefully relevant in today’s world.
