Throwback to a very sweaty summer's day on set earlier this year. I had the privilege of Production Designing for a BBC funded short film titled 'NIA' - the brainchild of @chantelleaboraah 🌅

I really love these pictures as they've perfectly captured the passion, thoughtfulness, and heart poured into this film every step of the way. You really do feel it when the crew have the drive and belief to catalyse a project to where it needs to be. Of course creating so much fun along the way!

Tape in the back pocket, cable ties in the front and one hell of a concentration face 😂🤪 Looking forward to seeing the final edit soon. Thank you for your trust 🙏🏼💫
