Last Song short film

Shot in July, August and November (yes) 2023 this short tells the story of two sixth formers who fall in love through their shared passion for music during a nostalgic summer.

Made with almost no budget - just what we had to spend on a location, transport and food and drink - but with the help of an amazing group of people.

It’s one of my favourite projects I’ve ever worked on, largely thanks to the amazing cast who brought their talent, energy and positivity to every part of the project.

Shot on Dan’s Arri Alexa 35 and my Olympus OM primes.
