Harry Bloomer and Warren McCabe-Smith have worked together on community film projects since 2005 when they first joined forces to make ‘Take Heart’ – a short film aimed at recognising the value that volunteers give to NHS services in Dudley. The film showed the services available to new patients and carers experiencing heart problems.

​

In 2006 the duo produced a short exhibition film for supporters of Dudley Hospital Radio.

​

Another success was a short corporate fundraiser film in 2007 for 3 year old Oscar Fradgley who as a result of Hanahart Syndrome needed regularly to replace expensive prosthetic feet as he outgrew the old ones.

​

Funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a groundbreaking Cradley Then & Now series of DVDs meant that in August 2009 they were able to begin work on a 15 month project about Cradley’s history and people. This complemented other activities in the Cradley community, including local schools, clubs and churches, by the Cradley Then & Now Group.
