A film about Yvette Vanson and her work

Yvette Vanson is an award-winning documentary producer-director. She tells her journey into the business to girls and women on a Chocolate Films filmmaking workshop in Wandsworth, South London. Over 5 days, the 12 girls and women aged 12 to 50 developed documentary filmmaking skills and made their very own short film.

This project was funded by Peabody Homes and The London Community Foundation.

This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.
