Live-action fantasy drama (35 mins)
Chatback Films

An award-winning 30-minute fantasy drama, made with looked-after children in-front and behind the camera. The idea for a film was conceived by Chatback, a group of foster carers and children from Dudley. They didn’t want to produce a heavy-handed kitchen sink drama - the kids wanted to have fun while they told their stories.

It was our privilege to work with this amazing group for a year, developing the story and training up the kids. The finished film included musical numbers, chase scenes, epic stunts and captivating performances. Thanks to the incredible skills of producer Karen Pearson, and a fantastic cast and crew, Handle With Care got made and won multiple awards at the RTS and several care industry events.
