‘A New Day’ - United Nations. A little while back, I embarked on what turned out to be one of the craziest, but all time favourite shoots I’ve ever done, which resulted in a film I’m very proud of. With a tiny team, we set out to make an uplifting and positive peice for
@unitednations that shows the food producers on the front lines of climate change. Adaptable, innovative and tenacious, these people are effected by choices made by others and deserve the full support of nations world wide. The family of
@ninasimone giving us their blessing to use such an iconic song was the absolute cherry on the cake. Made with the wonderful people at
@ifad_org , my longtime U.K family
@unit9films and with some of my absolute favourite collaborators - the inimitable
@hstarkeymidha bringing the pieces together as only he can, the amazing
@tommyrocket89 creating beautiful images as always,
@richardfearon bringing those images to life with his dark arts, and
@jayraposaurus breathing depth into the film with his incredible sound. Lastly, an extra special shout out to one of my absolute favourite editors
@lizdeegsedit , for her uncanny instinct with pacing and feel, for the late nights and for bringing the film to life! Eternally grateful to all.
