A Good Thing is a 10minute documentary that examines questions surrounding the cultural concept of art - what it is, where we find it, how we produce it and why we have it - through the eyes of a group of 7year old children from a North London Primary school. Primarily a participatory documentary, the film works as a collaboration between filmmaker and subjects and sees the children producing some unusual art of their own, and by simultaneously documenting the children's responses to their own images on screen, the piece also works reflexively to comment on the filmmaking process itself.
