'We are all connected by this experience', says film maker

Bristol film maker, Phoebe Holman, started a collaborative documentary project after losing paid work at the start of the coronavirus outbreak.

She wanted to know how others were experiencing the lockdown and decided to put a call-out on social media on 25 March, for video diary entries for The Covid-19 Diaries.

She received entries from people all over the world which was "unexpected" and has since decided to take on the project as a chance to create a historical document on the current climate.

Miss Holman said the project has grown "exponentially" in a manner of weeks and is still looking for more entries on the project's website, external.

She said: "I hope this inspires connection in what has become a socially disconnected time."
