In ‘Addicted To Sheep’, we get right up close to an ordinary family who chose the hardships of life down on a farm in Teesdale over the relative comforts of city life – what do they gain as a family and why?

I have been working on this documentary for 19 months now. I have finished filming it. However, now I am looking for funding for the post-production. If you have any advice please contact me. I would be very very grateful. Thank you.

Below are film stills and two trailers. Comments are welcome.

I have added the 3 minutes taster for the documentary I am working on titled ‘Addicted to Sheep’. It was produced in August this year to enter for the forum at the Amsterdam Documentary Festival. This was was edited by a different editor from the 5 minutes version. The production is now finished, however, a lot more work to do. I now have to fundraise money for post-production. If you have any comments, suggestions or help, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
