Project: Matthew's Neighbours

Project: Matthew's Neighbours

When the UK went into lockdown in March I wanted to do something constructive with this time to share with others that also fit in with my particular skillset. Having greatly enjoyed reading to my (now grown-up) children I decided to write, illustrate and narrate a story with empathy, tolerance and personal growth at its centre, and some gentle humour. The world can move a bit too fast for our young ones and just before bed is a great time to slow down. I tell this story straight to camera as if gossiping about the handful of characters that share the same block of flats as Matthew (who we never actually meet). A few scenes are selected from the story to be illustrated in black and white with occasional, basic, animation, harking back to children’s TV programmes in the 1970’s. Please subscribe on YouTube to follow the series.
