Footprint Productions is formed by three members from two local video clubs: Mike Shaw (Script Writer, Editor, Director) belongs to Orpington Video and Film Makers, while Brenda Troughton (Research, Producer) and Richard Troughton (Lead Camera) belong to Spring Park Film Makers: other members from both clubs were also involved in the production of the movie. The team was set up to make films of local historic interest, and now have a number of local history films to their credit.
Mike Shaw commented “Of the four trophies, the Alex Dove Plate is probably the most gratifying, since it means our film was chosen by a majority of the audience, rather than a small team of judges”.
