Wildflower is the first instalment of filmmakers Alex McPake & Mac Nixon’s ‘Places’ series.
‘Places’ is an experimental collaborative project between the two that flips the process of traditional filmmaking by shooting interesting locations and then constructing a narrative retrospectively.
I had such a fantastic day filming and chatting with the very talented Richard Meyrick Guitars about his craft and guitar making passions for this project. Sifting through endless 4K 60fps footage of Richards process made the edit a joy to put together too.

Paths is the second instalment in Stephen and I’s ’12 Hour Films’ series. It was written, shot, scored and edited in a 12 hour timeframe.
We’ll be honest, we’re not entirely sure what this one is… but we do know we had a right hoot making it.
With that in mind, shifting the focus of filmmaking away from creating the most ideal finished product and moving it more towards finding immense gratification in the process itself is the very reason we started this challenge the first place – and so far its been a top laugh, so that’s nice! Anyway, here’s to another one!
Again, we hope you at least enjoy some of it.
Myself & Stephen set ourselves the challenge of creating a short film in 12 hours, in a bid to shift the focus from talking about making films together to actually doing so.
Within 12 hours Atoms was written, shot, scored and edited.
What began as a late night conversation on a patio ultimately became this playfully poignant little doozy *description pending feedback*.
So with that being said, we hereby present to you ‘Atoms’. The first in our new ’12 Hour Films’ series.
We hope you enjoy at least some of it.
Originally released in 5 parts on my personal YouTube channel, Conversin’ in Berlin began as a creative challenge whilst in lockdown.
I wanted to make some alternative style home videos, incorporating a collection of audio recordings, 35mm photographs and camcorder video snippets I collected from our recent trip to Berlin.
You can checkout the original playlist here.
A track taken from Pet Deaths mesmerising Sofar Sounds Cardiff set at the cities Sull Space.
Amongst the footage recorded that night, I found this additional track ‘lola or lolita’ which features on the bands debut album ‘To the Top of the Hill and Roll…’ It felt wrong to let such a beautiful performance sit unseen on a hard drive, so I felt obliged to share this almost forgotten edit.
Thank you to Sofar Sounds for allowing me to document this and for always supporting cities and their local music scenes.
Watch this space! 🌗🌊
It was recently my 1 year anniversary of filming with the wonderful people at Sofar Sounds Cardiff! Here’s a snippet of some of the early shows I had the pleasure of documenting.
