Synopsis
Cup of tea? Come and take a seat in Lyn's cosy front room, hear her story of wartime love and watch as her belongings come alive with the hope, fear and humour of one spirited lady. A blend of documentary, animation and magic.
Bexie grew up in Northwest England where she discovered a passion for film through a BTEC National Diploma in Multimedia course. She chose to study at BA (Hons) Animation, Farnham, UCA where she gained a first class honours and discovered and explored the various aspects of animation. Her student films, Britain and Ever Hear a Postman Whistle have won awards and have been screened at several film festivals in the UK and internationally. Bexie aims to explore unusual approaches when making films. She likes working with fabric because it adds a tangible textural quality. In this new age of sustainability, she chooses to put the craft and handmade quality of film back into the public eye. She aspires to make animated films, which are abstract and full of playful ideas but also tell something real about life.
