‘We want to support your original, imaginative vision for Dummy Jim & help you create what we believe will be great cinema’, wrote Roanne Dods, Director of the Jerwood Charitable Foundation, in a letter to Matt Hulse.
See Hear is the BBC’s long-running magazine programme for deaf and hard of hearing people, presented in British Sign Language.
The website Dummy Jim was launched with style at Glasgow’s CCA on Saturday 23rd August.
The event featured a live set from the film’s composer Daniel Padden along with The One Ensemble and projections of Super 8mm film shot along the original route of James Duthie’s trip to the Arctic Circle.
The personal notes and scribblings of a remarkable north-east cyclist, who shot to fame when he rode from his home village Cairnbulg into the frozen plains of the Arctic Circle, are to be resurrected.
