The SunButter Storytellers Film Grant (SSFG) was created
in 2021 as an opportunity for budding film makers to bring
to life a creative vision in the themes of
Adventure, Nature, Inclusivity, Conservation and Artivism.
The idea was born from a lockdown inspiration to host mini film festivals curated by a different housemate each week.
An activity that brought us so much joy and made us remember
the importance and the power of storytelling.
