A Conversation of Cordwainers - behind the scenes

Welcome back good shoe folk of the world...did we mention we'd made a film (maybe once or twice!) now available on You Tube

Anyway, unlike most of what we do which is filmed or photographed on a phone, thanks to the generous support from the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers here in London, this was a full production film....plus we live-streamed the action thanks to my husband Andrew and his i-Phone xs! 

Itch Media were the pro. team brought in to make everyone look and sound good

I was responsible for the concept; the behind-the-scenes fun of catering, organising and looking after the talent; and then editing and marketing the film

and our wonderful group of shoemakers were in the expert hands of author and writer Simon Crompton.

Thanks to The Eagle for letting us film outside, you made a great backdrop

Great shoes and boots
