Project: Next-of-Kin is A creative reckoning with the inheritance we never asked for…

- the systems, the silences, the stories that shaped who we were allowed to become.

The First Chapter: A Poetic Cinematic Essay

Chapter One explores the lives of Marjory Burr and Brenda Butler—two working-class women, shaped by war, poverty and fierce resilience.

Through archival research, DNA revelations and poetic narration, we uncover how historical force carved pathways through generations, leaving traces we still carry today.

This is the first chapter in a larger transmedia series exploring 500 years of one British family—and through them, the hidden histories of millions.

These films will blend:

· Original Spoken Word - the poetry of resistance and remembrance

· Archival Footage - seeing through the official story to the human truth beneath

· Sensory Immersion - walking the same ground, feeling the same rain, understanding through the body what records cannot capture

· Unflinching Research - from bastardy laws to displacement, examining the systems that shaped our ancestors' choices

How We Work - Research
Project: NOK TIME MACHINE

This is history through the eyes of the kin - the mothers, the workers, the ones who built this world with their hands while others built narratives with their power.

At its heart, this project is about bringing light to what was buried—so that something new can grow. The tone is grounded and mythic, personal and universal. It invites audiences to reflect on where they come from and what they carry—not with judgement, but with compassion and curiosity

Part documentary, part poetic invocation;

Part Investigation
This is our story to reclaim.
