The Georgian Kitchen at Callendar House
We were commissioned by Falkirk Council to produce a short, character-led film for Callendar House’s new visitor experience room. Designed to set the scene before entering the historic Georgian Kitchen, the film introduces visitors to "Maggie", a spirited kitchen maid preparing for a grand banquet.
Accessibility was a core focus throughout the project. The film was carefully crafted with clear visuals, strong sound design and captioning support to ensure it can be enjoyed by a wide audience, including D/deaf, hard-of-hearing, and neurodivergent visitors. The final piece forms a key part of the museum’s reimagined visitor journey.
The film blends historical detail with warm, accessible storytelling, immersing viewers in the sights, sounds and smells of a working Georgian kitchen. From roasting fires and biscuit moulds to contraband tea and burnt bread, Maggie brings the space to life with charm and humour.
