Graham and Matt kindly spent a day in sunny Dorset lugging camera equipment up and down Iron Age hill forts to get some scenic shots. As you can tell, they were super enthusiastic about the rural cutaways. At some stage, we want to dig into the detail about hill forts in Britain, changing interpretations, and Durotrigan hill forts in particular.

This is a more informal page where I'll share with you some of the fun bits of making films about Life and Death in Celtic Britain.

Bournemouth University Interview - 2024
We spent a few hours in Bournemouth, filming an interview with Dr Miles Russell about the Durotriges Project story so far. Quite a few (fake) skulls on display... our history is about the history of humans, after all.

Filming at the Durotriges Dig Site - 2023
The weather was perfect for our first day of filming at the Durotriges dig site. We even got the drone out! The chalk pits make for an eye-catching site in wide shot and from above but it's quite tricky filming in and around them on the ground. Being at a site like this on such a glorious day is one of the best things about making archaeology films!
