Goodwin Development Trust Andrew Pittock (Narrator) Andrew Pittock comes from Wales and became a son of the desert by moving to Saudi Arabia as a babe in arms. Then via Hull, Sunderland, France and London, Andrew came back to the banks of the Humber at the tender age of thirty. His acting experience has been limited to school and university productions but he has dubbing and translation voice-over work experience in France as well as compereing ‘Mr Octagon’ for the Goodwin Development Trust. As a member of Goodwin staff, Andrew was really pleased to land the role of the narrator for The Legend of Kawa the Blacksmith and is looking forward to his nieces and nephews hearing him in the film. He has now developed a bit of a taste for stage and Christine Brennan (Kawa’s wife) Christine says, “I’m really pleased to be doing the voice for Kawa’s wife in this really exciting project. I trained at the Welsh College of Music and Drama years and years and years ago. Since then I have been lucky to have continued acting in theatre, television and radio drama. My last theatre production was Hound of the Baskervilles in the summer of 2007, and I’ve appeared in various telly dramas and soaps over the years. I’m a pretty regular occurrence in Radio 4 dramas too. I now, like many people in the acting profession, run various careers at the same time. I have just been directing a documentary in Bangladesh, which was a great experience. I’m hoping to do some work in Kurdistan at some point this year too and it’s great to know at least one tale.” Peter McGurn, Chief Executive of Goodwin Development Trust, said, “We are very excited about the film and the impact that it could have. This is a unique project that will help to promote Kurdish/British cooperation and interaction in our growing multi-cultural society. From the start we were keen to involve the local community as a whole, bringing together cultures to create something that can be enjoyed by everyone. “When Stuart and Havi came to us with the idea, we recognised the great potential and benefit that could come from the making of Kawa the Blacksmith and are delighted with the result.” Page 5
Page 6 Film Gallery Having lost six of his seven children, Kawa is determined to go to King Zohak to plead for the life of his last child. King Zohak is cursed with two hungry, black snakes by the demon Ahriman. When these snakes grow hungry, they will only be satisfied by being fed the brains of children. The Legend of Kawa the Blacksmith shows traditional Kurdish buildings, tools and clothing, as in this scene where the villagers await Kawa’s signal from the mountain.
