While working as a producer at Tyne Tees Television in the north of England my independent production company Duchy Parade Films created Wilfred a short drama shot on 35mm film. To mark the 100^thAnniversary of the end of World War One I revisited this short drama and created a new version, working with talented editor, Adam Kirk. With new changes in technology, Adam was able to enhance the film’s original vision. The film combines newly drawn animation by long-time collaborator and original animator David Bunting. Wilfred has gone on to tour film festivals worldwide and once more is winning numerous film awards. Wilfred is a story of artists’ response to war and is based on true events from World War One, highlighting the war time experiences of poet Wilfred Owen.
