Other Work Here's just a few images and examples of other work past and present. Alternatively, find out more on the About page, the CLA website, email Jackie or visit the YouTube channel, 'Grow Your Dreams'. Dads Matter Too was a film and media arts project initiated by young Dads from Wiltshire and Swindon who'd done Dads-to-be courses with U-Too Community Business and wanted to voice their experiences of fatherhood to an ambitiously wide audience. They fundraised and planned the project, which Jackie facilitated from November 07 to Summer 08. [Funding from a range of sources including Big Boost, Prince's Trust, WYPOF, Surestart Wiltshire, Arts Award Access Fund, Swindon Rotary] It was so successful we added music technology, photography, arts award sessions - for dads, partners, children and visited Tate Modern. Dads have spoken at county training events, local and national radio, TV, press. The DVD was launched with a VIP screening at the Wyvern Theatre, Swindon on 28th June. The group won the Prince's Trust SW Community Impact Award 2008. We made a 2009 calendar (100 in circulation), 28 minute film with 80 minute extras on DVD (350+ copies in circulation, with an order for 2000 in process). From the start Jackie set up a team blog which tracks the progress and impact of the project to date, showing 4500+ hits from around the world. Have a look at all the latest news and pictures, watch the trailer and find out how to order your copy of the DVD and the Dads Matter Calendar 2009!

Film-making Project with 'Nameless' youth group, Codford and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, 2007. In the cold February half term the young people who had been planning and writing the short film over 8 months , filmed on location in Codford, Wiltshire. Supported by the WWT Education Officer, and Media Artist Jackie Calderwood, young people learnt new skills in acting, camera work, editing and composition. Jackie took all their ideas away to base the final edit on, with young people having a final input viewing a rough edit of the film. With funding from Sustain the Plain, the film was shown at a special public screening event in the village, before touring around Wiltshire. L'Eauest Point was shown at the Salisbury International Arts Festival alongside a feature film about rivers and water control in India; also at both Chippenham and Salisbury as part of the Preloader Film Festival.
