Film premiere at the 2025 Shepton Snowdrops Festival. It features community made “Miracles of Nature” puppet film.
The company engaged the community in the project. About 200 children worked with care home residents. They attended workshops from multiple schools and a care home. People created shadow puppets in a special theater. They explored nature’s everyday miracles. Spider web strength and snowdrop resilience were examples. These appeared in winter season.
