Swansea stories in 60 second shorts screening + Q&A with Charlotte James

You've got 60 seconds to tell the world your Swansea story - what are you going to say?
Introduced by Charlotte James, join us for a screening of an eclectic selection of 60 second shorts produced by Swansea based creatives who have combined creative writing, visuals, sound and editing (using a smartphone device). With stories ranging from music and motherhood, carnivals gone by to a homage to a council estate community.

Her work is rooted in the community where she grew up in—full of grit, humour, and heart—and she's passionate about telling stories that reflect the truth of working-class life. Her debut short film, Doss House, was produced by Maisie Williams under her production company RAPT, and was selected for the London Short Film Festival as part of They Call Us Working Class.
