Marcus & The Mystery Of The Pudding Pans (2019)

Commissioned by the trustees of the Seaside Museum Herne Bay and funded by Heritage Lottery, Marcus & The Mystery of The Pudding Pans was made with the help and support of the children and staff of the Herne Bay Junior School. I had the pleasure of meeting a whole bunch of the school’s exuberant pupils in our search for the ‘voice of Marcus’, a role that ultimately went to Lake Blumenthal, who auditioned for me so impressively – while dressed as a lion!

“Each step has been a new adventure for those involved at the Museum. Introducing the idea to the school and seeing their enthusiasm and support has encouraged community involvement. The film has far exceeded my expectations. It brings the story to life but still leaves an unanswered question what did really happen? Perhaps further investigation will discover the answer.” - Sandra Porter, trustee of the Seaside Museum, Herne Bay
