CONVERSE

Fantasy Short Film for Anomaly London

We directed a fantasy-inspired short film for Converse, built around an original music track.

Working with Walter Campbell at Anomaly London, we shot 'Desire' over two days in London: a mix of live action and greenscreen sequences. The cast brought together Blur's Graham Coxon, Bill Ryder-Jones, and platinum-selling artist Paloma Faith alongside a cast of exotic extras. Post-production ran for six weeks: building a giant octopus, constructing a desert entirely from matte paintings, and carefully matching camera movement to the world created in post.
