Play for Today “The Quiet Hour” - Delivered! Last year, I directed my first episode of TV for the Play For Today series with Vertigo Films, C5 and Paramount. The Quiet Hour follows the night shift of an NHS nurse on an understaffed ward. Here’s a sneak peek of a couple of behind-the-scenes stills with a few of our amazing crew. Keep your eyes peeled for more soon. Can’t wait for you all to see what our super-talented team have created when it airs later this year! 📷: @danfearondesigns

Morphed Figures 📸 When Max, a self-obsessed man fixated on his own life and the lives of others, spots what he believes to be his doppelgänger on a balcony one night, his world spins into chaos as he grapples with the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Had a lot of fun shooting this with Director Joe Jordan and the @andwhystudios gang. Thanks to all the lovely crew, particularly the camera team when I decided to shoot everything on the Optimo 12x. Also massive shoutout to the amazing @maraciorba at @harborpictureco , first time working together finally!

"My general approach to cinematography is to remain responsive, and this felt more relevant than ever, working to a micro-budget in such large shooting spaces. The Grand was a hotel that “once hosted royalty” (something the real-life manager of the building would remind us of on our multiple visits), and its architecture reflects that. It felt like it was built very sympathetically to natural light, transforming throughout the day. I was captivated by how beautiful some of the spaces looked on the recces, and I wanted to lean into that. "This was the same for all the beautiful dressings in the hotel that our amazing production designer, Violette De Laet, and art director, Jessica Hurcombe, did an incredible job at refining and curating, resulting in a backdrop that felt trapped in time." Screening in competition at this year’s Manchester Film Festival, Misper follows the employees of a dying seaside hotel as they have their lives upended when their colleague, Elle, vanishes. Instead of focusing on the police investigation or Elle’s close family, the story delves into the psychological impact on Leonard and his co-workers. Read more from DP Bart Bazaz on our website.
