Film studio’s finest achievement in the bag thanks to kids’ stories of hope
DAMIEN O’Connor of Brown Bag Films vividly remembers the day he first encountered Debbie Deegan from the children’s charity To Russia with Love.
“I was sitting in work and I got a phone call from this woman I’d never met before,” he recalls. “She basically asked if I’d be interested in making a 30-second animated advert for their website. I explained that I wouldn’t. And I was on the phone to her for about 45 minutes explaining why; we were just so busy. After the call I went back to my desk and there was an email from her saying basically ‘right, where do we go from here?’”
