Filmmaker's Note
'Fort Box' is a film which I hope will bring a certain childhood nostalgia to audience members.
For a short film it's on quite a large scale, with the UK's largest cardboard box fort being built for the ending scenes during which over 250 people attended to help lend a hand. This was the first time i'd ever organized any kind of event so I was delighted by how well it was received.
Fort Box was made with love by a lot of people and I hope that comes through in the film.
