@rteone 🐝🐝🐝 or after that on
@rteplayer why not?
Back in 2019 I thought “it might be fun to make a beekeeping documentary… how hard could it be?” so I spent a summer of great fun filming it - aaand then somehow 6 years passed. There’s no way I can fit everything into one post, but the main thing is PLEASE WATCH IT!
Producer, icon and absolute rock
@leeonaduff helped make it a reality, along with so so many supportive friends - thanks to
@repzydoyle and
@areamanshane for help with shooting (and feedback on early drafts)! And thanks to RTÉ for taking a chance on us and giving me the time, space and resources to finish Bee-Kept as it needed to be made.
I’m so incredibly proud of what we’ve made, and the team of very cool collaborators I’ve picked up along the way. Thanks
@sarah__bowie &
@amiegerardi for the amazing animated sections explaining fun bee facts! Thanks
@alisonspittle for bringing the story to life with your narration! Thanks
@lauraryderaudio for crafting the perfect score, the busy buzzy vocal-driven soundtrack of my dreams!! Thanks to
@immersivesound1 for bringing the sound mix together ❤️
This is just the production side - of course I am above all so so grateful to the beekeepers and others who let me film with them and showed me a little bit of their lives. I can’t wait for you all to meet them!
