A young girl is obsessed with the night sky, with what lies beyond and longs to travel into the unknown. Will she defy the odds like her heroines – the astronauts Valentina Tereshkova and Mae Jemison and achieve her dreams?
How To Space is written by Anna Reynolds and directed by Grant Watson (Pursued By A Bear Associate Director (Film)) and features actress Chanel Glasgow and was filmed under lock-down restrictions in her home of Trinidad and Tobago. Filming was supported by Trinidad and Tobago film makers, Jian Hennings and Sophie Walcott.
Chanel was part of the development Nothing on Earth by Anna Reynolds at Trestle Theatre in October 2019 following Rosamunde seeing her in a MA Acting showcase at Drama Centre.
Pursued By A Bear is proud to be able to support a recent graduate whose career possibilities have been curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Chanel has been involved in the creative arts industry for the past 10 years. Whilst earning her Bachelor of Arts at the University of the West Indies she worked, as an actor, with many other notable production companies in Trinidad.
