Hello,


We are some local filmmakers and we are making a short comedy about warring neighbours, parking spaces and Brexit Britain.


Our film is called 'Huntington Gardens' and centres around three families as they each battle to get the best parking spots on their residential street. It's a film about British values, absurdity and parking spaces.

It's a short film which demonstrates a microcosm of Brexit, the absurdity and misplaced anger, as families from different cultural backgrounds battle it out for superiority on their street.


We have recently been fortunate enough to receive a small amount of funding from Sky Arts for a short film as part of their Arts 50 scheme. They are funding multiple projects across lots of different disciplines around the idea of post-Brexit Britain. Our film will also be shown on the Sky Arts TV channel next year which gives us a great platform to reach a wide audience and spread our message.


However in order to receive our funding from Sky Arts we need to secure the rest of the budget, hence our Kickstarter page. I have put a link to the page below, any help supporting the project or sharing it with others would be much appreciated. We are also offering as one of the rewards the opportunity for us to make a promotional film for you or your business. It's what we do as our day job and are offering it at a highly reduced rate.

Thanks in advance!

During my time in the Army there was a saying that I think really applies to you...


?The service isn?t why it used to be...and it never was!?


You really do yearn for halcyon days that didn?t exist. Sad.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
