Action on empty homes

Our BA (Hons) Animation and Illustration students completed this brief for Action on Empty Homes to produce short animations that raised awareness of the organisation’s work.

The films were also selected for screening at the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting in Detroit, Michigan, by organisers Film Geographies.

Course Director Jeff Crosby said of the project:

“We are so proud of our third year students for working successfully in teams to pitch and create these engaging public awareness campaign films. It's wonderful that the films have found an even broader, more international audience than originally planned.”
