Glass Slippers
Arts University Bournemouth

I collaborated with two performance design courses at Arts University Bournemouth to produce a short film that showcases almost one hundred costumes spanning three centuries.

I decided to shun the traditional recruitment video for the University in favour of a fresh, and sometimes, violent take on the story of Cinderella, shot entirely from her point of view.

150 students spent five months painstakingly creating the costumes, make-up and hair design to ensure they remain true to their eras of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and we did the rest.

The film's end line - 'storytelling from an original point of view' - captures the courses' creative approach to both teaching and way they promote themselves.
