News Update 1...

Over the past few months we have been meeting up with members from The Leek Gateway Club, Borderland Voices and Leek Writers Group to devise a new short film, written by people based in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Entitled "Once upon a Summer Day" the short film features excerpts from a variety of creative people from the area. July is an exciting time, which has seen the film go into production, with local community members getting involved both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.


Keep checking for more information and productions shots. We'll also shortly be announcing the short film's premiere... coming soon!
