Sometimes the small ideas in your head, when acted on, can grow into something beautiful.
These are the results of a 10-year-long creative process, that started in a council estate in North West London, and is now on the big screen. This journey taught us that we’re not just writers, we’re authors. There’s a difference. We don’t just pen our ideas, we author-ise new futures. You don’t need to wait for permission to make change happen. When the story is written against you, rewrite the narrative. Be the plot twist. And there is still so much more story to be revealed… We are the Authors of the Estate ❤️ Thank you to everyone's hard work and patience to help make this documentary happen.
