New Wave article out now in British Cinematographer magazine. Thank you @britishcinematographer and @casarottoramsay

Fun story: when I was 14 I bought a DVD of short films with my paper round money. On it, alongside a Ridley Scott short was a playful film called ‘Je T’aime John Wayne’ by Toby Macdonald. This happened long before it was a conscious thought for me that real people made films as an actual job. I think I bought it because it looked artsy and trying to have a hat faze felt too risky. Skip forward 17 years and I watch a short film which producer @lizzrus sends to me, to see if I’d like to meet with the director for a new tv series. The short was called ‘Je T’aime John Wayne’, by Toby Macdonald. It didn’t dawn on me immediately where I had seen it before, but I’m now, in a very satisfying and delayed full circle kinda way, thoroughly enjoying how it all began. This piece that I’m posting about, I had the great pleasure of shooting with Toby. It’s called ‘Ragdoll’ and I hope it’s the first of many we make together. What a joy to work with this lover of cinema and total enabler of the creatives around him. And thank you again to Lizzie, who continues to be an absolute legend with all the sweet hookups. .

Save Me Too wins Best Drama at the BAFTAs. Well done you amazing cast and crew x

We wrapped Sweetpea S2 a few weeks ago and I’m missing the cast and crew very much. What a brilliant group who are as lovely as they are clever, talented and incredibly hard working. So fun to get to team up with old friends @nickmorris____ @ellasjones @adam.zimmerman @jtbsena - who I shot my first shorts with, and Coky my first TV series with. This project brought us back together as if by magic. Thank you all!

The Pigs Underneath screens tonight at TIFF! So hyped. Congrats to my great friend Writer Director @charliewdennis who I hope has a deliciously messy night celebrating. Thanks for having me on board to shoot this with you. From the West Midlands to Toronto via @monkeypawproductions @universalpicturesuk @lowkeyfilms and @sentifilms with an amazing cast and crew.

Much of Ep 6 of We Were the Lucky Ones revolves around Bella and Jacob, played delicately by @evafeiler and @amitrahav . This is an early scene, a love letter expressing how difficult separation must have been with so few ways of communicating.
