A month on since You Told Us To Talk About the Weather was released, we look back at some behind the scenes from the shoot.
The film industry has a long way to go to become an eco-friendly industry but as a climate-focussed film we embedded sustainable practices into our work.
Weâre proud that we:
đ± Filmed on rewilded landscape across the West Acre Estate in Norfolk. A farm that has committed to rewilding its land to restore soil quality and biodiversity.
đ± Hired kit from @greenkitlondon to ensure our equipment was as eco-friendly as possible
đ± Used hybird and electric vehicles to transport crew and kit where possible
đ± Hired local crew to reduce transport emissions
đ± Used solar power to charge all our equipment
đ± Fed the crew on veggie, homecooked meals with no single use plastic
You can still catch the short film on our YouTube (link in bio) and help us keep this conversation going.

87% of Brits want to do more about climate change.
But 55% of us admit that we donât know how to talk about it.
We believe that the majority of people want the best for a planet but many are caught in a spiral of silence.
Thatâs why today @carolinelucasbrighton is backing @climatemajorityproject Climate Courage Schools Campaign to support teachers, students and parents to hold truthful conversations and build community resilience in the face of climate chaos.
The campaign connects classrooms with policy-makers, demonstrating what education fit for our uncertain future can look like.
By voicing our desire for change, we can build awareness of the majority of people who share it.
A self-aware majority is an unstoppable political force.
Thatâs why weâre inviting you to join the conversation today:

In the past 6 hours, 94% of Brits have spoken about the weather.
In the past 5 years, 7000 Brits have been arrested for speaking out about the climate crisis.
Now weâre asking: how can we change small-talk into a conversation for meaningful change?
You Told Us to Talk About the Weather is an urgent new series exploring why itâs so hard to speak openly about the climate.
Based on a poetry series by multi-award-winning playwright @emmalouisehowell , directed by @harrytharry , and starring Olivier & BAFTA-nominated actor Michael Sheen, the film is created in partnership with @duna_studios_ and CMP's Climate Courage Schools campaign.

Creative Director on motion and stills for the @uooyaaofficial winter campaign. Hereâs the stunning photos from @0scarjryan , designed by @chloe.littlewood (swipe to the end for BTS)
This was a tough shoot, the wind destroying our set half way through the day, but with an killer team we achieved some amazing results!
âBeneath the brutalist calm of East London, stories unfold in unexpected ways. Patterns, textures, and play, each detail is a reflection of UOOYAAâs joy. Eccentricity finds a new kind of elegance.â
