    Farming Flagship film
    Working with the head of communication to write this story then planning the shoot on the farm. Pleasantly contrasted by several days shooting flora and fauna b-roll on the estate, then assembling the edit. The reactions to this film in the comments section of Youtube are an amazing tribute to my efforts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0miKj4UOiA&t=18s https://stevesfilms.co.uk…
