Dan Pearce - Hope Short Film

These acclaimed artists and friends spent a year over lockdown creating this ambitious, multi-platform collaboration to send a positive message of hope out into a world that had been thrown into emotional turmoil. The project includes a series of 50 unique mixed media sculptures and a moving original film celebrating the triumph of hope over adversity. The sculpture portrays a little boy wearing a gasmask and preparing to pull the pin on a clear, resin grenade. Inside is a heart which represents the vaccine and the hope that we have placed in its power. The soundtrack to the film is also entitled ‘Hope’ and is being released along with three other tracks on an EP on bespoke memory cards inside the sculptures. The artists are donating several of the sculptures to organisations raising funds for those who have been most affected by the pandemic including NHS Charities Together, YoungMinds and Shelter.
