Concept Artist Amanda Fullwood joins the 'Minding Mama' team!
March, 2016: A big welcome to Amanda Fullwood! In Amanda's own words:
​
"I started out my career within the field of theatre design, working on projects ranging from live art and installation through to musicals and drama. Since then I have extended my art into more illustrative and narrative painting for which I have produced many commissions and work for exhibition. I have always been fascinated by concept art, film, TV and gaming so decided to combine my love of scenic design and narrative art and return to University in 2013 to study for my Masters in Design for Film, TV and Events at Nottingham Trent University. I am specialising in design for film, concept art and illustration including designed products such as bags, boxes and accessories. I recently exhibited and sold my work at Walker Stalker London 2016."
We are thrilled to have Amanda on board. You can see examples of Amanda's work on her website, and on her blog. You can also follow Amanda on Twitter: @DarkForge14

Welcome to Kate Davies-Speak!
Welcome to David Learner!
Hello to Kate Davies-Speak, who plays Mama in our trailer. Kate is known for her portrayal of strong, active female leads, and as such she is perfect for Mama. Check out the web series 'Horizon', in which Kate plays Nicole. Series 2 is coming in early 2018, don't miss it!
Welcome to David Learner, who will be the voice of Cyril the Farmbot in our trailer! Many of you will know David from his portrayal of Marvin the paranoid android in several stage adaptions of 'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy' , as well as the TV series (although Marvin was voiced by Stephen Moore on that occasion, David provided Marvin's physical presence).
