- Beyond a sprinkling of people from his locality, Evered Wigg is someone nobody is likely to have heard of. In the early 1920s the village of Kessingland in Suffolk had its own cinema, the Kinnodrome. It was built and run by this unsung pioneer of radio, inventor and visionary. Against the backdrop of Kessingland, this documentary by Nick Murray Brown looks at the life of a remarkable character. With more than a hint of nostalgia it is also a human story hopefully relevant in today's world.—Nick Murray Brown
- The film documentary charts biographical details of Evered Wigg, his birth in the Victorian era into the Wigg family of Barnby - the Agricultural Implement Manufacturers - his youth, his involvement in both world wars and his work up to his death in the late 1960s. There is some historical background to the village of Kessingland in Suffolk, where he settled. The film looks at The Kinnodrome, which he built on the grounds of his home and ran as a silent picture house in the 1920s and his passion - if commercially unsuccessful - as an inventor. Regarded in the village as an 'eccentric', the film portrays the many facets from the humorous to the profound of this complex individual and humanitarian with his own words from his diaries and stories told of him by members of his family and people who knew him. The film features the talents of Tony Scannell and the art of Suffolk based and internationally exhibited artist Mark Burrell.—Nick Murray Brown
