May Shoot 2/2: Little Big Brother Probably one of the most ambitious shoots I’ve done so far! I’d never shot in a drive-in green screen before, or done a night shoot, but thanks to the efforts of an amazing cast and crew we managed to pull it off :)

The Producer of “Little Big Brother” (Lily Allmark) hard at work on Day 1 of production. She is wearing a headset and holding an iPad.

The crew of “Little Big Brother” on the final shooting day: a night shoot at a farm in Potters Bar.

Still frame from “Little Big Brother”. On the left is a blue VW Campervan, on the right is a picnic bench with the two leading cast members on. Reggie (played by Cameron Wight) is sitting on top of the table eating a hot dog. Miles (played by Jake Cash) is sitting on the bench looking exasperated.

Still frame from the “Little Big Brother”. It is a cork board with two photos pinned on it. The lower one is of three young boys at the beach. The upper one is of Reggie (Cameron Wight) and Miles (Jake Cash) at the pub from an earlier scene.

May Shoot 1/2: A Figment of Existence Absolutely unforgettable experience. We had an incredible location, the chance to partially shoot on 16mm, and a brilliant but hard-hitting story to bring to life. Thank you so much to everyone who dedicated their time to this project <3

Most people think filmmaking is glamorous, but sometimes it’s finding yourself in a Walmart in deepest, darkest Canada at 9:30 on a Sunday, stocking your hotel room with embarrassing junk food so when you stagger in at 3am from a long shoot you don’t have to rely on vending machines for nourishment.
