Belonging is Everything 
As part of a brand awareness campaign, The Co-op asked me to produce and direct a story around community values.
I engaged poet, Will Burns and together we spoke to local communities in the Channel Islands in search of stories that resonated with The Co-op’s long-standing values. The result was Belonging is Everything, a 60-second TVC shot on location across The Channel Islands.

Creating Community

Together with Public and Private, The Co-op engaged me to document a community ‘percentage for art’ project linked to the creation of its new store in The Channel Islands. Working with a small production team, I interviewed the children, architects, and artists who helped turn a local supermarket into a public art exhibit, about their contributions and what the experience meant to them. Along with web and blog usage, Creating Community was included as part of an IDG Awards nomination.
