OUTCOMES: To create a series of short documentaries that address possible future careers in a remote town like Quorn. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? To whom could you speak to get advise?

The locals came up trumps, especially the Quorn butcher, who proved to be comedic talent, just stay away from his knives…
