What we did: A Lens Change filmmaker co-created several promotional films in collaboration with HighRise theatre company to help promote the show the Concrete Jungle Book. This variation on Rudyard Kipling’s classic was devised with young homeless people in London and makes informed statements on the refugee crisis and inflated rent market. Mogli’s track specifically featured substantial steadicam work through the streets of Soho, London to show the characters neighbourhood in a fashion familiar to that of a music video.

This variation on Rudyard Kipling’s classic was devised with young homeless people in London and makes informed statements on the refugee crisis and inflated rent market. The shooting of Baloo’s film on the streets of Soho lead to an impromptu Street Cypher, which with the camera still rolling, provided a fantastic top and tail to the short film.

What we did: We ran several exploratory workshops with a group of young homeless people in Centrepoint London with two key outputs: 1) Participants learn the basics of photography and have an active role in creating / directing 2) photo outputs are used to help promote the theatre show participants have helped shape ‘The Concrete Jungle Book’. With many young people being young asylum seekers we explored their journeys to the UK through still images. ‘Light painting’ proved a particularly effective creative approach with some exciting results the group were proud to put their names to.
