DESFAVORABLE ❌️ Only felt right to share some

DESFAVORABLE ❌️ Only felt right to share some freshly developed analogue snaps from our recent filming trip to Spain in light of opening a rejection letter from the Spanish Government today. 16 months after we 'nipped back' from València thinking we'd move there for good, having lived in limbo here in the UK since then, and our visa application has been rejected. Looks like England will be Broaden's home for the foreseeable. Onwards!

We've been a bit quiet on the grid recently. But b

We've been a bit quiet on the grid recently. But behind the scenes we've been busy: George went to the Ukrainian border and Bryony has been working on some art commissions she can't wait to reveal soon. But right now, we're having a blast with @tidepoolofficial in Málaga. Spain, we've missed you 💛

...and it was OUR absolute pleasure watching a bunch of young people get all fired up about learning music 💥

If YOU know a young person who would love to join a free, inclusive jazz summer school in Birmingham, get them to apply via www.bmusic.co.uk before 1st April!

And big thanks @bmusic_ltd for bringing us on board to film and for your kind words - we wont let them go to our head 🙃

It feels pretty surreal that George is back safe in the UK after a week headed to the Ukrainian border whilst millions still flee their homes. Everything has gone: houses, careers, food and security. All that's left is the astounding determination of the Ukrainian people along with those helping out to make the situation a tiny bit better.
.
It's been a humbling week filming the @aidsunflower convoy. The charity is set to continue its efforts so if you're lost as to how you can help, heading to their JustGiving page is a good start.

HEBDEN BRIDGE: Place Portraits Ep. 3
.
Exploring this West Yorkshire town with 35mm film (thanks for suggesting this as our next location @kattercakes
!)
.
Despite the drizzle, we managed to get some nice shots
of the surrounding countryside and the town centre, plus some portraits too. Each time we create an episode, we're reminded of the magic of analogue film and the joy that comes from wandering and exploring a place on foot.

Full vid here and on the @broaden._

Having a bit of a shitter here at Broaden HQ becau

Having a bit of a shitter here at Broaden HQ because we've finally submitted our visa application to move to Spain (huzzah!) but have found out it'll take a minimum of six months to find out if it's been granted (boo!).

SO. Thought we'd share something more positive, which is that our doco THE HUNDRED MILER hit a quarter of a million views while we hardly noticed! Pretty chuffed with that. Plus it's got two cheeky laurels, so we're posting some flashbacks to remind ourselves of how far Broaden has come. Onwards and upwards!

TRAIL RUNNING IN SNOWDONIA
🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏾🏞️👣🎥
Trail running grows on you. Before you know it, you're immersed in a world of views and vistas, mud and smiles, and a great community too. Our interest in trail running began a few years back when we began making 'The Hundred Miler', and hasn't really stopped since. After putting the documentary out in 2020, we were delighted when running coach extraordinaire Geoff Brierley contacted us about capturing the work of FOCUSED PERFORMANCE.
.
Making running fun, accessible and joyful, we love the trail-running holidays that @focusedperformance offer in the UK and overseas. This was genuinely one of the most fun commercial shoots we've had the pleasure of working on. We saw first-hand how much Geoff's clients get out of a weekend away (even simply by the number of repeat customers!). Geoff has built a community of runners of all ages and abilities, unified by a passion for getting out there and exploring. We couldn't recommend the Focused Performance trips more (go check out their Facebook page!)
.
Director and DOP: George Webster
Producer: Bryony Simcox
Music: Artlist
Location: Betws-y-Coed
Deliverables: 3 min promotional film and shorter social media edits.
