Today marks E.D.E.N. Film Productions 12th year in action!
Founded in 2013, we’ve been excited by our work within the LGBTQ+ community, running filmmaking workshops, events and screenings.
We’re proud to have worked with over 130 project participants, clocking up over 350 workshop hours, over 1,200 filming and editing hours and producing 38 films.
A particular highlight of our work has been the Transforming Cinema festivals in 2016 and 2018, where we put the focus on transgender, gender nonconforming, non-binary and genderqueer voices.
We have so much more to do and we’re excited for what the future holds!
Thanks to everyone for the support along the way – project participants, filmmakers, producers, editors, funders, our board members – we couldn’t do it without you!
Thanks to innovative organizations like Guajira and Roda founded by James Downer, many migrants access affordable e-bikes that help them cope with the economic challenges they face.

Happy Burns Day everyone
Remembering nice memory of having some haggis benny at Coffee Saints (2a Little King Street, Edinburgh) during my last trip
As a lot of new people seem to be joining here, I thought I should have a go at an #introduction.
I am I guess a bit unusual in having been a serial entrepreneur, and a business advisor, but also a life-long socialist. I started my first business while still at school, and another at university; then I discovered social enterprise - using business models and methods not for private gain, but for common benefit. I got involved in the wholefood co-op and radical bookshop movements, then went on to work in social enterprise development, setting up a co-operative specialising in organisational structure design, writing a number of technical guides on this, and on how to restructure conventional organisations as co-ops and social enterprises - and indeed advising on some of the largest transformations to social enterprise in the UK. I went on to work internationally on the development of legislation and financial support for social enterprise, both for governments and international aid bodies.
Throughout I also worked with universities, first in cultural history and then in social enterprise. Alongside my PhD I taught on the Keele University 'American Mind' course - a broad cultural survey course. I've studied many aspects of history, culture and the arts - and been a part-time practitioner in both pottery and music (guitar) - but my main early focus was on literature. Later, naturally, I became more involved in teaching and researching social enterprise development, working with a number of universities and other organisations.
