Circus Documentary


Here it finally is.... for the last month and a half my production group and I have been working hard in planning, filming and editing our latest Documentary. I took the Directors role, so have had endless late nights working on it, but been a great experience!

It is a short Documentary about a Touring Circus in the UK, John Lawson's Circus. We spent a few days with them filming their everyday routines, from the strenuous task of putting up the tent to them in costumes, performing. I wanted to create a story looking behind the scenes of a circus, finding out what life is really like behind the sequins and the struggles they face.

So please spare 8 minutes to be transported into the Circus world!
