In 2019, Luke and Joanna created a documentary about homelessness in Bath and North East Somerset, working with charities across the county including Julian House, St Mungo’s, St Johns Foundation and Developing Health and Independence (DHI).
Luke made a short film called A Grave Matter which became the inspiration for a documentary called What Happens When You Die? The aim was to encourage people to talk more openly about death. It was screened to an audience of over 100 people followed by a Q&A session with someone from a local Death Café.
In 2019, Joanna and Luke were commissioned by the St John’s Foundation to create a short documentary about homelessness in Bath and North East Somerset, called A Roof Over My Head, which was premiered at Komedia in Bath to an audience of 500 people.
