New film aims to inspire people to make a difference in their communities.
Aardman has unveiled an uplifting new film to mark a special £2 million National Lottery fund, which aims to bring communities together across the UK.
Designed to help communities across the UK join in with The National Lottery’s 25-year birthday celebrations, the £2 million fund from The National Lottery – called #CelebrateNationalLottery25 – is open to anyone with a great idea to make a difference in their local community.
The fund offers anyone the chance to receive £1,000 to make their idea a reality – showing that no individual or idea is too small to make a big difference in their community.
The film – directed by Aardman’s Peter Peake – uses 2D animation to detail what four people would do if they had £1,000 to use in their community.
The team at Aardman designed a range of diverse and inclusive characters representing people and communities reflecting modern UK, The script was informed by qualitative research from members of the public across the UK.
Comedian James Acaster, who is cast as one of the characters, commented: “This film embraces the diversity in our local communities and highlights the importance of coming together as neighbours, so I hope it inspires lots of people to seek funding for their idea.”
