CIRCLE OF LIFE was created by 9 young people (& 2 young mentors) from Barrow and the surrounding areas, aged 8-11yrs in the 2019 Easter holidays as part of our Signal Starters “Film-in-a-Week” programme.

These talented young people wanted to create a spooky story and made brilliant use of mixed-media approaches. The young people learned new skills in: storytelling, performing to camera, green screen, character design, stop-motion animation, voice acting and editing to create this piece.

The short film premiered on Monday 23rd September as part of a celebration event for the year-long Signal Starters programme, where the screening event for family and friends was also attended by Barrow’s Deputy Mayor, Helen Wall and Cumbria’s High Sheriff, Marcia Fotheringham.
