This Month

'Of All The Things' Production Started

We are very happy to be back in production this quarter and look forward to sharing more behind-the-scenes updates as we progress. Over the summer, we secured several new corporate sponsors, bringing us closer to our full funding target. 

The crowdfund page is also still active for anyone who missed the chance to contribute last time. You can also join our OATT Mailing List to get production updates straight to your inbox.

Coming Soon

Health for Under 5's

We've just wrapped up two Health for Under 5's films for Leicester's Maternity Services and antenatal group Bumps to Babies. These will be online and in local hospitals and health centres before the end of the year.
