Summary
Kermode on Film supports the British Film Designers Guild Awards – and shines a spotlight on the BFDG Planet Positive Award sponsored by Sky Studios Elstree. In this episode Mark Kermode talks to the winner of that award, Freya Bruce, co-founder of ReCollective, about their work on 'My Lady Jayne'.

ReCollective's work on 'My Lady Jane' involved repurposing building materials which were then used for community builds in the South West of England including making poly tunnels for a market garden and a field shelter for a community farm.
