This is a very special project. The final film I made with the beautiful Steve Mackey.

From Katie -
‘Cool Summer’ was the last piece of film and series of photographs Steve was working on when he got ill in late November 2022. It was shot in October 2022 in Atlanta and was a gorgeous shoot. It was a big, uphill struggle to get there, to find somewhere warm in October, somewhere green that had a huge lake and no views of buildings.
We shot for three long days. Steve pottered about with his file of reference pictures and shot list trying to herd the cast who were on three different sets and buggy trips apart.
This edit was put together predominantly by Steve and Thomas, with help from Morgan after Steve’s passing. The voiceover is
@everanderson who read one of Steve’s favourite songs, ‘Cool Summer’ by Bob Lind - I recommend finding it on YouTube to hear the original.
On Steve’s death he had left instruction to find ‘F1 playlist’ on his computer and ‘Cool Summer’ was one of the tracks. The beautiful words seem to fit with the visuals and were beautifully read by Ever in late 2023 when we finalised this piece.

Thanks to Katie for the trust in this project, to Morgan for the invaluable help in the final stages of putting together the cut, to Freddie and Joe for the sound design at such short notice and to Sharon for the most sensitive work on the colour.
To Steve - thank you for everything.
You will forever be in all of our thoughts.
