How our story started...
Peterborough Presents invited pitches for a professional company to run a summer film making course in Westwood.
We were selected by the young people.
Reframing a community,
forming a collective
Together, we helped the group form All Signals Productions — a shared identity, voice, and sense of purpose that belonged to them.
Alongside their films, we documented the journey itself, creating Reframing Westwood, a behind-the-scenes documentary about confidence, place, and possibility.
"This showed what Westwood can be when people are given space to create."
Audience member,
Showcase
Our collaboration didn't end with the showcase....
We were invited back to support a participant to apply their skills in a real community commission, interviewing veterans and contributing to a public event.
We returned again to run a film in a day workshop with local screening... this time with mentors.
This is how LemonWedge works — not by parachuting in, but by embedding, listening, and building confidence that lasts.
What happens next?
LemonWedge Collective is growing carefully and intentionally.
With the right partners and funding, we’re ready to support more communities to tell their own stories — creating safe creative spaces, locally rooted production groups, and pathways that last beyond a single project.
Every project adds another voice, another story, and a little more positivity to the world.
