Sheep, Actually & Short

A film documenting Paul Wyatt's quest to understand Britain's enduring fascination with sheep. His journey to learn more about these fascinating animals led him on an unexpected and woolly adventure.

In London he met talented makers, discovered the vital green spaces of London City Farms, and connected with sheep experts. The film uncovers a surprising universe right in the heart of the capital, from encountering the multi-horned Manx sheep and hardy Herdwicks, to the deer-like Castlemilk Moorits.

Join Paul and his camera as he explores the craft and effort involved in working with wool, from the farm to the finished product. The film features Justine Lee, fashion designer and author of The Wonder of Wool, textile artist Remiiya Badru, weaver Majeda Clarke, the Yarn Whisperer Andrew Kite, as well as farmers, shearers, producers and many others who work with wool.
