*When Better Letters Met Barbara Enright* is the fourth in [a series of short films about veterans of the trade](https://bl.ag/tag/when-better-letters-met/). It follows up on earlier profiles of [Cliff Headford](https://bl.ag/when-better-letters-met-cliff-headford/) from Bristol, [Josef Samuel](https://bl.ag/meet-josef-samuel-viennas-last-signpainter/) in Vienna, and [Stan Wilkinson](https://bl.ag/stan/) in Wokingham.

Each film celebrates the life and work of these craftspeople, and we’ve been extremely lucky to have the support of Colossal Media and Right Way Signs of Chicago when producing them, so massive thanks again to both these brilliant companies.

After screening at last year’s [Lockdown Letterheads](https://bl.ag/lockdown/), this award-winning film about Australian showcard and ticket writer [Barbara Enright](https://www.instagram.com/barbaraenright/?ref=bl.ag) is now available to watch online here.
