New work, new work, new work! A little burst of middle eastern sun to brighten up our cold winter days. So excited to share our series trailer and some BTS for our long awaited series Doha Diaries!

New work for HOKA! Back in January we went and hung out with French Architect & Designer Anthony AuthiĆ©, exploring the parallels between a runner’s high and creativity. Really loved working on this project with the whole team and massive shout out to Anthony for powering through an epic day running around Paris with us. BTS to follow!

Over the past year I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship. How people change and why people change. How someone you’ve known for years can suddenly feel completely different. I think a lot of us are grieving people who are still alive. The division growing around us right now is tearing apart friendships, families and entire communities. I’m sad about it. I’m angry about it. So I started writing a short film called Painted to talk about it. Painted is a story about friendship, masculinity and the grief of losing someone who is still standing right in front of you. Set against the backdrop of our towns and cities becoming increasingly divided by the flags being raised around them, the film follows two lifelong friends over the course of one summers day as they repaint a child’s bedroom together. But beneath the small talk, paint rollers and brushes, something far more unsettling begins to emerge. Over the coming weeks and months I’m going to be sharing the process of getting this film made and would love to bring people along on the journey. Stay tuned for updates and behind the scenes as we begin bringing Painted to life. Thanks everyone. More to come soon! David x #shortfilm #indiefilm #filmmaking #britishcinema #screenwriting

Post-production on our Amateur: A 5-9 Athlete documentary is well and truly underway! It's been a project that has spanned over 12 months of shooting, all over the UK from Dorset, Scotland and Wales. We can't wait to get this out into the world! Thanks to our partners, all the crew and friends that have chipped in with this project so far. This has been a passion project supported by so many. If you would like to know more about the project and Nickys quest to qualify for the world championships, please drop me a DM! @__nickthegreek__ @henryhayhay @mucoff @grallochgravel @gloriousgravel @britishcycling @darrencollins @hrrypwll #Cycling #Gravel #Gravelcycling #WorldChampionships #GravelWorldChampionships #Gralloch #documentary #Film #SonyFx6 #sonyfx3

New work for Samsung! An absolute pleasure to direct "Life Unfolds Fast" with the legendary Martin Kemp, elegantly reciting poet Georgie Jones’ beautiful ode to life. A film about memory, meaning and the moments we hold close. Big shout out to @liamsimpsonfilm for bringing me onto the project, @jackjackhoward at @okaystudio and the lads at @gotmoves.co . This has been a great collab with so many talented people. Thanks to all our hard working crew all the way from pre-prod to post and Martin for our lovely chats about football and gardening.

New football work! Such a fun time making this film for Berko F.C. Shot at their final home game of the season (before they smashed the play-offs). Voiced by the football legend Peter Drury and airing in your local Berkhamsted Pearl and Dean cinema screen during the ad breaks. Thanks to everyone that donated their time, equipment and skills to make this little film happen. Big shout out to Stefan Yap for his camera kit, Pete Burch at Coffee and TV for hooking us up with a wicked grade by Liam, Ed Cook for his sound design and finishing for us, Rael for providing our track and last but so not least, Chris Foggin and Chris Ranson for pulling all the producer strings and making this happen.

Italy what a fever dream you were. A massive goal this year has been to complete my first Marathon, Lake Garda 42. Couldn't have chosen a better race to start out at. The weather, the course, getting Jack (my van) out and over into the Alps and amongst the mountains - and then the pizza and beer to finish (swipe right to see how that went down and the multiple pain faces I was pulling towards the end of the race). A finish time of 03:39. Now to see about doing that ultra.... #Italy #Marathon #Lakegarda #Running #Sport #Vanlife #Adventure #mountains
