Well done to everyone for The Sky Original film, Flight 149: Hostage of War, which will be premiering at the SXSW Film and TV Festival in Austin, Texas in March. We shot this last year in April / May 2024. The documentary explores a dramatic moment in British political history when the passengers of BA Flight 149 were taken hostage. On 2nd August 1990, Iraq took the world by surprise and invades Kuwait. Hours later, BA Flight 149 from London lands in Kuwait City for a scheduled stop with over 385 men, women and children on board. The plane never reaches its final destination.
Some photos from Al Hilal’s training ground in Saudi Arabia where we shot with Puma last week. Great to meet Neymar Jr and practice some skills with North London’s @liriansantoss
Some photos from The Mauritanian back in 2020. As a teenager, I watched Kevin Macdonald’s Oscar winning film ‘One Day In September’. It was probably a pivotal moment when I decided I wanted to work in film and storytelling. And 20 years layer, there I was in Africa, working with him. There are lots of highs and lows in the film industry but when it’s going well, enjoy the moment. That’s what it’s all about. #themauritanian #kevinmacdonald #filming #africa #mauritania #bts

Yesterday we shot a 12 hour live episode of The Third Day called Autumn. This was a television first! We isolated on Osea Island and put this together in two weeks. The cast and camera crew were outstanding!
