BROADSIDE
I wanted to capture the sport of speedway in a way that felt raw and powerful.
A visual collision of metal and dirt. Shot across two different 16mm film stocks and combined with hand-crafted animation, this short film was about grit.
Sound is a massive part of the sporting experience, with several roaring engines hurtling around a small circuit in as little as 60 seconds.
These bikes have no brakes. It was important to me to humanise the fearless riders at
@ipswichwitches and their contributions were invaluable.
Watch with mega volume and thank you to all of the people below who gave their time and skill to this project so generously.
