This humorous and melancholic portrait of a male voice choir in North East Wales begins with the filmmaker’s father, Ed, a 90-year-old widower, selling the family home and making early arrangements for his own funeral. Weekly practice is his last remaining solace, but with an average age of 74, his beloved choir is facing a crisis of its own. They must act fast or face extinction, and the hunt begins to find “brown haired men” in their 40s and 50s to keep the choir going. As their search intensifies, the group grows closer. Ed finds new meaning in his life, while Merf deals with his own bad news by focusing on the choir’s revival, and Gwyn laughs in the face of a prostate cancer diagnosis, walking the wing of a plane to raise money for charity. Eventually, they travel to Northern Ireland to perform for the first time in two decades.

SPEAKING IN SILENCE gently explores the experience of Selective Mutism from within. Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder, through which the sufferer is unable to speak in many social settings. Extending far beyond shyness, the silence becomes an insurmountable wall to the outside world. A wall built on fear.
Told from the filmmaker’s perspective the documentary forms a time traveling poem-come-warning of the challenge to agency faced in the condition. The story is addressed to Saarah, a young Londoner struggling with the shifting challenges of mutism as she moves into adolescence. A fellow voiceless soul that the filmmaker encountered just in time.
AN INTERMISSION is a portrait of contemporary Britain as seen through the eyes of a group of young people experiencing homelessness. For over a year and a half, they worked collaboratively with artist Edwin Mingard to make a film to express their views to the wider world.
