REELmcr is a dynamic, not for profit social enterprise, committed to giving a voice to the most alienated, deprived, under represented and vulnerable communities. We provide intergenerational community groups from across the North West, with the opportunity to gain experience of innovative media production and a chance to tell the personal or collective stories of individuals and communities, using filmmaking as a medium for storytelling, encouraging groups to focus on the issues that affect all members of their community, rather than their differences, cohesion is the goal that underpins all of our projects.
ABBEY HEY! Abbey Hey residents, past and present, now have the chance to celebrate the area as part of a new documentary being made by award winning community media company REELmcr. REELmcr, which recently won the Pride of Manchester Award for its film work with Manchester’s communities, is currently making the documentary and is looking for local people to share their memories and experiences of everything from the local shops, to working in the area’s industry, to fun times in Debdale Park or Belle Vue. REELmcr is particularly looking for people who may have left the area but have fond memories of their former home. Anything goes, and everyone is welcome to participate in what is sure to be the most vital history of Abbey Hey ever recorded on film. “We have been working with residents from Abbey Hey since February and have been welcomed into the community, people have shared their stories with us and we feel honoured” says REELmcr’s Jacqui Carroll producer and director of the film “There are so many good people living in Abbey Hey who all want the best for their community and many of them haven't met each other yet” she adds “We are hoping that this film which celebrates life in Abbey Hey brings them together. The film will have a fantastic premiere in the summer where the community will be the VIP guests.” There are also two places left for residents who want to actually get involved in the filming of the documentary and they will learn film making skills and get a formal qualification at the end of the project. |
