DON’T SHOOT.
This idea all started as a set of visuals that appeared in a dream: a blind gangster with a gun and a kid in a nighttime shooting face off.
We felt there was so much unspoken emotion attached to that visual world and for ages we had just wanted to go out and create and in the process, do away with some of the really easy excuses that we often find not to: not enough time, too expensive, too difficult.
We begged and borrowed the generosity of some incredible friends and collaborators, to strip it back to the basics, shooting @kodak_shootfilm 16mm with no monitors, no playback, just trust in our vision and our incredible DOP Harry Grunfeld. The success in many ways was in the making, as it was undoubtedly one of the funnest experiences we’ve had on set in so long, because everyone was there purely for the passion - it felt like we’d snuck into this tiny corner of far East London and were in a race against time to shoot with no weight of expectations, strict rules or clear plan to follow.
And sure, a lot of things proved challenging. We’d deliberately been really loose in our structure, choosing to shoot instinctively which meant our shot list was more than a little loose, and perhaps we missed some key coverage we could have got with a little more planning. The results were beautiful but left us stuck in the edit wrestling over exactly what this little film was and how it should come together. But when it all clicked, it was worth the waiting - and we knew we’d made something we loved.
Huge thanks to the entire team below, and especially to our producer, Helena Collado, whose trust and energy make everyone on set feel unstoppable.

What started as a dreamy little idea from my insanely creative friend and director @popstefani turned into a much bigger shoot than we expected, and what a ride! There were some tears along the way, but loads of laughter, and most importantly, there was magic. The kind that only happens when ridiculously talented people come together and say: “OK, let’s fkn do this.” And we did. And that’s why this one will always hold a special place in my heart.
It was an honour to help bring that dreamy idea to life.
Huge thanks to every single soul who poured their time, talent, and love into this. And a very special shoutout to my dear friend @joe_alpert , who let us turn his home into a tornado for a day. Many thanks, Joeito 🤍
