YMCA SHORT FILM
A collaboration between the YMCA Mansfield and Inspire Youth Arts (2025)
Over the course of ten weeks, I worked as a digital artist - alongside creative writer Matt Miller and music artist Tom Bacon - with the young people of the YMCA in Mansfield (YMCA Robin Hood) to create a short film that explored their time and relationship with the YMCA.
Using poems and music produced by the young people in session, I took their visuals and ideas and animated a short film, merging all of the work they produced over the course of the project. Facilitated by Inspire: Culture, Learning and Libraries.
I also illustrated posters for the project, now displayed in The Old Library in Mansfield alongside the poems created by the young people and Matt Miller. The doodles created by some of the young people were digitised and incorporated into both the final film and the border for the poem description print.
