“At Last” for our friends at Callaway. (director’s cut) Shot on the only sunny(-ish) day at Royal County Down, deep in the UK’s never-ending winter. I’ve struggled with the process of commercial filmmaking over the last few years - the noise and the circus that often comes with it. This one felt different and my favourite way of working: Mandatory skeleton crew. Sticks, camera, slider, a few rolls of film. The feeling of actually making something came alive again, despite the weather. More of this please 🧡 Owen, Tom - you legends! Director/Edit.

The film for @thedawdlermusic started out as an intentional exhibition to celebrate John's incredible music and as a way of raising money for MSTrust. @arena.ncl was born as a byproduct of this; a space to celebrate local North East artists who don't fit into the traditional "art" world. The 48 page zine was a way of celebrating the incredible music, photography, and to showcase the behind-the-scenes of the zero-budget project whilst donating all proceeds. I'm so happy to see the project pick up a few awards along the way. Made out of 100% recycled paper, and the magnetic cover is hand screen-printed on GF Smith, Gmund Urban Black Architect 300gsm by George Stewart at @overlaypress - all proceeds from the zine and photography at the exhibition went to MSTrustUK. Thank you everyone who attended the exhibition, purchased a print, a zine, or helped support us as a venue in any shape or form (too many to name). It was an incredibly moving evening and amazing to have so many wonderful people under one roof. Thank you @sel_maclean , @kyleheslopdop and @ferrie.maria - love you guys. And thank you John for putting so much love and care into the music you put out into the world. Finally, FILMMAKERS‼️- John's soundscapes @thedawdlermusic are incredible. Hit him up for syncs, instrumentals, and the like 🧡
