A couple of weeks ago some of the Made Films gang went to watch Damien Chazelle's 'Babylon'. An epic paean to the birth and evolution of cinema starring Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Tobey Maguire, it was a mixed bag: thrillingly choreographed scenes of excess dragged down, at times, by a plodding script and a self-indulgent ending. Entertainment correspondent Kevin Polowy called it "...truly the strangest, most debaucherous love letter to Hollywood ever.'

What do a carpet, a sunset, a sculpture and a museum facade all have in common? Well, not much other than they're all interesting moments and textures from Dani's December photo roll.

01/02/2023

People often ask us where we get our ideas. Well, the short answer is that there's no short answer 😉. But what we can say is it's about using the odd bit of down-time to fill up our creative tank. These shots from Dani's December sojourn reveal some of the sights and moments that caught her director's eye.
