"From the outset, the cinematographic approach was guided by restraint. The material carries inherent emotional weight, and the challenge was to support that without being too heavy handed. "The aim was to develop a visual language that allowed performance and subject matter to lead, with the camera responding rather than dictating." Little Rock, directed by Nick Tree, is a six-minute short created in support of the charity Younger People with Dementia. It follows an earlier collaboration with the charity, which starred Kate Dickie (The Witch), but this time features Amelie Pease (Adolescence) in the lead role. While the story is fictional, it reflects the lived reality of around 70,000 people in the UK under 50 living with dementia. DP Aadel Nodeh-Farahani reveals more on our website.

A few choice frames to wet the beak - 'Little Rock' is out there - what a special one this was to work on. So many brilliant people, all driven by Nick’s writing and direction that genuinely tugs at the heartstrings. Huge thanks to Ant, Max, Johnathan, and the hero that is Ollie in the camera department. Big love to gaffer Sal, and sparks Fin and James for going above and beyond (as always). Hats off to Sam and everyone at Lobster for making it happen, and to Stef for that incredible eye in the grade. Paired with Tom’s original score and Amelie’s performance, I dare you not to be moved….

New work: P&O Ferries TVC series. This is the first in the series, each concept done in one take 😉 and just a few days of crafting and bottling joy out at sea essentially. Something to cut through all the noise. I was also excited, having not done a huge amount of work with VFX integrated into my real-world stories, so it was fun to direct alongside some very talented artists covering all departments… Great people working alongside great people. Couldn’t have done it without a massive team of lovely folks: A Lobster Creative x Boomtown Production Nick Tree - Director Simon McDowell - Executive Producer Samantha Callighen - Producer Sarah Rose Skinner - Production Manager Sarah Elsbury - Production Manager Dennis De Silviera - Creative Director BBDO Rachad Azar - Senior Producer BBDO Shane Martin - Boomtown Owner Jonathan Piercy - Boomtown Producer Aadel Nodeh Farahani - DOP Joseph Mulvihill - 1st AD Hollie Burton - 2nd AD Jonathan Boyd - Data Wrangler Max Lincoln - Art Director Katherine Victoria Burke - Art Assistant Ollie Smith - Steadicam Operator Charlie Lodge - Gaffer Milo B Cosemans - Best Boy Alexander Styles - Spark Anthony Hugill - 1st AC Callum Reeves - 2nd AC Lucy Williams - Wardrobe Stylist Joseph Butterfield - Wardrobe Assistant Isla Murray - Food Stylist Kate O’Shea - HMU Artist Laura Restrepo - HMU Assistant Alexandre Systermans - Photographer Scott Atkinson - Digitech Andy Galloway - VFX Supervisor Ben McFarlane - VFX Director Sunny VFX - VFX co.
