Crafting Narratives of Home Through Film
Jo has been busy with various commissions, but has found the time to contribute to the First Foot event by creating a film that depicts life in the building over the years. Based on the true story of a woman from the area, the film interweaves dreams and memories to craft a narrative about home.
