This Is England?

What if in ‘This Is England’ the counter-culture wasn’t punk, it was français.
Filmed in back-streets in central Liverpool, Clockwork Arts’ short was made specifically to be entered into FilmFour’s ‘Scene Stealers’ competition, and ended up making the top 30 shortlist.
Subverting the Northern Englishness of the original film, we decided all the characters should talk and act as over-the-top French stereotypes, whilst still sticking as close as possible to the script. Baguettes, boules and berets feature prominently.

‘Hunter Gatherer’

As part of the creative collective Clockwork Arts, I worked on the 2012 reed.co.uk short film entry ‘Hunter Gatherer’. The film was shot in and around Waterloo and Crosby, starring a pair of modern-day cavemen as they set out in search of their next meal.
In addition to filming and editing the short, I drew & animated the stick figures & provided an embarrassing amount of caveman noises in post-production.

‘Lamb’

‘Lamb’ was Clockwork Arts’ winning submission to the inaugural “its liverpool on Film” competition in 2012.
Starring a cuddly Superlambanana toy, the 90-second entry was shot on location in Liverpool and Seacombe, with the short earning the top Gold Award upon its screening at FACT in April that year.
