Over four 6 transformative months, participants including food bank employees & volunteers will be interviewed, sharing their personal stories, challenges, and triumphs.

Lead artist Lizzie Clarke:

Lizzie is a London-based working class actor, screenwriter and BÉZNĂ Theatre associate. In 2018 she participated in interviews with refugees & people seeking asylum for the show ILLEGALISED, which she later acted in (2019). She witnessed first hand the great impact work based on interviews had on audiences & on the people who inspired it. During lockdown Lizzie volunteered at a food bank run by St Mary’s Church Hornsey Rise where she met a wide range of people in need of support & willing to help others. This experience inspired Lizzie to start creating FULL. Lizzie is a BFI-funded screenwriter, her first short film NED & ME (2020), was accepted in the Clermont-Ferrand & This is England, Margate, Bolton International, FICBUEU, British Shorts, Berlin film festivals & has been nominated at the ASWAN female film makers festival for Best Short. Lizzie won Best Writer at the Midlands Movies awards & NED & ME is now available on Amazon Prime. Lizzie's writing asks questions about social and systemic injustice from a character-driven point of view.
