A short film commissioned by East Devon District Council charting the development of Cranbrook has been released.
Recording took place when the community came together to celebrate ‘Cranbrook Day’ on 29 June last year, an event that included consultation undertaken by East Devon Volunteer Support Agency (EDVSA), to find out what residents would like to see in the Cranbrook of the future.

In the opening scene, Gone Girl employs a voice-over flashback narration, the contemporary film-noir device used by the generic anti-hero illusionist, as...
