About us
WAG Screen is a community group who specialise in making films about Lincolnshire’s history and heritage. We raise the funding to make our own films, which include The Luttrell Psalter Film and The Lady of Shalott. We are a non-profit making organisation with a strong community ethic.
WAG Screen is made up of individuals with interests in film, photography, the web, period costume, film acting, history and archaeology. Many of us are professionals or have specialists skills and many just want to learn something new. We are all Lincolnshire based (and most in and around Lincoln itself). We have a constitution and a committee, but we don’t have a formal membership structure – anyone can join in our activities and contribute as much or a little as they want. When we are working on a big project WAG Screen membership runs into the 100′s, but in between the membership drops down to the size of the committee. If you have any questions, or if you are interested in participating in any way, just get in touch.
I am afraid we are unable to take on commisisons, if you are interested in having a film made please contact Crow’s Eye Productions, the filmmakers who lend their professional skills to WAG Screen.
