A Collaborative Code

A framework for collaboration developed for our film Father-land.

1. We collaborate as equals with mutual respect for our value and expertise as individuals.
2. We value each other’s knowledge, experience and specialisms.
3. We support one another to deal with problems as they arise and work jointly to devise the most effective solution for the project.
4. We listen to each other’s ideas and give them room to grow, enabling creative ideas to emerge at the interface between us.
5. We share information, resources and activities so we can achieve more than we could as individuals.
6. We trust one another and commit to being reliable and committed to the project and to realising its goals.
7. We acknowledge each other’s equal contribution.
8. We get together every evening to debrief, sharing our feedback on that day’s research and to discuss our joint strategy for the next day and beyond.
