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.

The GreenWave Project

The GreenWave project involved taking two groups of North Manchester residents, from the Higher Blackley and Charlestown Wards, through a series of CO2 awareness workshops. The workshops covered a different aspect of environmental concern each week and invited guests would talk to the group about food, energy saving, recycling and climate change. The group would then use this information in improvisational drama sessions to build scenes for use in a film script, which would be written by a professional scriptwriter.
A further requirement for this project was an improvement in intergeneration cohesion and engaging participants from as wide an age range as possible was essential.
