Editor • The Darkforest As is a two-channel short film by multimedia artist Sahjan Kooner, created in collaboration with FACT Liverpool and two groups of young people from Merseyside and Leigh. In the creation of the film, the young people crafted their own characters, costumes, and narrative, exploring the different possibilities the future might hold. I was brought on to the project as editor, cutting both the final short film, a auxiliary vertical short, and a multi-camera video podcast in which Kooner and the FACT Learning Team discuss the creation and themes of the exhibit.
The short film itself is unavailable online, but below is the video podcast.
