Onteca made this stop-motion animation as part of Toxteth TV’s Youth and Migration project. It focuses on the experiences of the Liverpool FC footballer, and the life journey that took him from Norway to Liverpool. A charming short film, made with the help of local school-children and the animator Alice Kuchemann, and based around a filmed interview with the man himself. Animators for Onteca were Pauline Wong and Richard Alston. Edited by Richard Alston with assistance from Max Zadow. Produced by Jon Wetherall.Made between April and May 2007.
