The Vault: A Story Bank (writer/director)
In 2018 Kirkby Lonsdale CIC successfully bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority SDF, and Kirkby Lonsdale Town Council to create The Vault: A Kirkby Lonsdale Story Bank. I created and managed this project and also wrote two of the character monologues (JMW Turner and Alice Clarke) for The Vault.
