If it Scares You, It’s a Good Sign

“Stay humble, stay frightened and keep moving forward and it’s gonna work out for you” -Nolan Bushnell. Nolan invented Atari. He invented the first ever computer game. He was Steve Jobs’ only ever boss and then went on to invent Chuck E Cheese. He created multi-billion dollar businesses. We’re doing a series of films with him […]

Team Work, Dream Work

This was one of those jobs where you see all of your people smiling, laughing, connecting and getting things done. Producing projects that allow the people you admire to shine. That’s the continued goal. Team work really does make the dream work. It also helps when you’re shooting on a location with six Bentleys, a Rolls Royce, […]

Yes You Can

We’ve been running around from meeting to meeting. It’s a busy season for our company and collective. We have had meetings with heads of film studios and some potential partners who would completely change our business. We don’t get hyped by this anymore. Instead we get quiet, and filled with questions. Number one question: Can […]

It works for me. The trick is: you have […]

The Rewards of Patience

Growing up, I used to silently hate my mum telling me to be patient. I HATED that word. 20 years later I, realise what she meant. Patience isn’t passively waiting. Patience is practicing, training, and working your ass off, whilst you wait. It’s staying ready for the moment you want, even, and especially, when that […]

Spotting the Lens Fairies

This was taken from a recent photo shoot in New York. She starts out shy, starts out crying, doesn’t want her photo taken. I sit on the floor put the camera between my legs, take the lens cap off and start taking loudly to the invisible helpers that live in my lenses. Slowly she moves from the edge […]

Like a Scene from a Bond Film

All of our drones have nicknames, this shot was taken by ‘Gypsy’ I love Gypsy especially after she allowed me to take this shot. It was taken for our James Bond-styled love story wedding film last weekend in the south of France. This location had me walking around in slow motion with a theme tune […]
