We are going away for January to spend some time with friends and family. Please take a look through our archives (right back to 2009) or check out the back issues of Small (all twenty of them!) if you have some time. We look forward to seeing you again in the new year.

small report - independent media for kids

In a world of big budget films for kids packed full of wise cracking characters primed for commercial tie-ins we are really impressed with the work of Kristin Eno. She has devoted herself to developing independent media for kids that generates and creates imaginative response, not a pre-designed and generic experience. Find her amazing film -made with, and starring real live children- Spirit Ship here.

You can read more about her independent media for kids on her website.
