Smoking Dolphins 🐬 💨 Real chuffed to say that this short I shot directed by the lovely @storyof_sean has won its first award on home ground - Best NW short in Manchester Film fest. It’s a stylistic satire about lies, tories and more lies, oh and Boris Johnson. Huge thanks to the cast and crew who made this happen with their time, generosity and expert awesomeness. And of course the top bods at @nodramaltd for their time and kit and friendly faces. And @drop_city_ltd for their generosity, huge vans and many many M-Series.

One from a while back - shot this Tesla film with the maestro @si_mulvaney during a well timed storm “Ciara” that killed both power and water to our location and accommodation within a few hours of arriving. Seemed rather fortunate the house was powered by a battery/solar - made for some great shooting conditions though.

Frames from Doglike // A one-shot short spoken word poetry film written and directed (and starring) the multi-skilled mr @rory.aaron for part of the BBC New Creatives Scheme. Top work from all crew involved, had only a day to smash this out with all blocking/rehearsals etc, so was a lot to squeeze in as it was an unbroken 4 minute take in the end. No cuts. Only steadicam ops were hurt in the making of this film.

Here’s a selection of stills from Mini’s driving home for Christmas I shot recently for the maestro that is @morrisism - it was Ed’s great idea to take a particularly focused approach within camera for this one to deliver something personal, flexible and as human as possible, something I think couldn’t have been paired better with this narrative. It's a little known fact that Chris Rea's festive classic 'Driving Home for Christmas' was written in a Mini, on the long drive home from London to Middlesbrough in December 1978. Forty-three years later, @mini is marking the occasion with a heartwarming ode to the journey home for Christmas.
