There is no point telling a story that nobody wants to hear unless of course it is something people NEED to hear! Over the last three years I have found that the news is so often saturated with negativity, so much so that often people become immune to the issues that lay under the headlines.
As a Journalist I am keen to tell the stories that need to be told in a way that people want to hear, sharing the stories that I tell in a way that is informative, honest and encourages change but with a positive outlook.
After doing lots of research into areas that I would like my first foray into film making to cover I decided on the topic of social enterprise. Social Enterprise is defined as; "An organisation that applies commercial strategies to maximise improvements in human and environmental well-being''
PERFECT! I found some social enterprises based in London and I knew this was something that could not only look beautiful visually but shine a light on important issues while showing the positive impact people are having by stepping out and making a change through social enterprise companies!
Here are a few of the companies I have found that I will be contacting to see if they would feature in my doc, I used crowd funder and Instagram to find these:
Jollie Socks
Bread and Roses
Luminary Bakery
