She mentored me on my first foray into animated documentary as part of the northern stars film academy back in 2006, on an animated docu-film called 'Spiked' (Will post on my blog soon as i get it up on youtube!)
Ellie has created films about sensitive or culturally specific subjects such as: accounts of forced female circumcision:
EVERYTHING WAS LIFE
A short film about the practice of female circumcision
MEMORIES OF REDCAR: a travelogue film about young peoples views on Redcar
SHARING SPACES: a film debating how to use public space in Walker
"The group's experiences and memories of public spaces in Walker and Newcastle were documented, and the dialogue audio recorded and edited into short soundtracks for the animation. To illustrate their ideas and aspirations for the new public spaces, participants used a wide selection of materials, 2-D images and found objects, as well as their own drawings and models. The outcome is a light-hearted short film that offers a new perspective and raises questions about public space and its uses."
