MOST of us wouldn’t know David Richardson if we bumped into him on the streets.
That’s the way he likes it. The man behind the camera, directing action others watch.
Many will be familiar with his work as a TV director. Emmerdale last year. Shameless back in 2009. Five years or so on Hollyoaks. Grange Hill. EastEnders. Brookside. And more.
Throw in The Celts for good measure and some short films and work with some of the biggest names in British cinema, and David’s on the roll call of honour when it comes to directors of clout and kudos.
So – with the greatest respect – what brings him to Claremont Community Centre, North Shore, on a bleak midwinter evening to help children with their film project?

TEENAGER Claire Machin knows everything there is to know about her mum’s rare condition.
The 16-year-old has been a carer for her mother Sarah Cross for as long as she can remember.
She does everything from helping her to wash and get dressed, to massaging her legs and making sure she takes her medication.
Sarah, 35, has Addison’s disease, a rare condition which means that her body does not produce adrenaline.
