Filmed over three months I spent time with I Talk to Strangers movement in North London founded by David Blackwell.  This was my final project for my MA.

I Talk to Strangers is a not-for-profit movement; we want to create an accessible social space to encourage communication between the diverse the people of London. Our aim is to change the tone of daily life in London, and promote a new interspersed space of community here in the city.

The name I talk to Strangers is important, because, as much as this is about community and communication, it is also about introducing identity, personality, and humanity into spaces and interactions that are currently so often empty, impersonal and anonymous.
