“It was a really open and exciting brief to pitch on. Although these films were to sit on an educational platform, BBC were really keen for them to be presented like ‘music videos’. For me, this was a great opportunity to flex some creative muscle. The hard part was making each film feel unique while at the same time cohesive as a collection. We shot 6 different films in 7 days, so the crew were nimble and we were very light on hands. We all became really invested with the project and it was rewarding working with the young poets to craft their films. The overall response was great. At the beginning of the process, I got the sense that they were a bit apprehensive because at the time my ideas were out there compared to the types of films BBC Bitesize usually commission. In the end, that proved to be what made them a success and the team are super happy with the final films.”
