Tim Brunsden is a media artist and filmmaker making films with a focus on community and outsider culture. He is Co-Director with artist collective Re-Dock, Associate Artist with Duckie and has been documenting Homotopia Festival since 2006. Whilst resident with Metal Liverpool, Tim will be exploring ideas around connection and loneliness, and how these impact on our mental health, testing out ways to open up discussions without creating a sense of otherness or shame. This will involve using a mixture of techniques including examining his own experiences with the ultimate aim of creating new work that he hopes will initiate positive change.
