My Lockdown Companion is a stop-motion film project that will showcase a collection of short stories narrated by young people living within the Tunbridge Wells Borough, about their personal account of what, or who got through the Covid 19 pandemic.  The festival will celebrate the imagination, resilience, and creativity of these young people as they coped with the hardships of lockdown and having their freedom taken away.
