Our Street - A Lewisham Urban Opera Charity Documentary Film

Through sheer luck, we were put in touch with Tom Guthrie from Music and Theatre For All. After one completed project, it was clear that a strong partnership had been discovered.

In our previous project for MTFA, we were asked to create a longer and more substantial film that documented the wholesome and remarkable work being done by a community arts group in Lewisham, as part of the Lewisham Borough of Culture celebrations. We were asked to build on this in the run-up to the full fruition of the project where they would be performing at the Broadway Theatre in Catford alongside professionals to tell their story.

Brought together in the wake of the pandemic, the Lewisham Urban Opera Project empowers members of the local community to create and tell their own stories. The participants range from total newcomers to seasoned veterans, giving the project its vital genuine feel, with a professional polish.

We feel extremely lucky to have been involved in this process, and we hope that the film puts on display even a small percentage of the magic that this group created.

We are so proud of the what this group has acheived and are looking forward to collaborating with MTFA in the future. We hope you enjoy the film.
