The Chagford Filmmaking Group is dedicated to making films of British fairytales - traditional stories rooted in the British landscape.

We are a non-profit organization creating films that we would want our children to see. We simply wish to tell the magical stories that are part of our heritage.

Currently in post-production is Cherry of Zennor, a remarkable Cornish fairytale about a girl who unwittingly becomes nursemaid in a fairy household. The film will be premiered in Autumn 2008.View photos from Cherry shoot
