Oh! But now if you go to Paris you’ve got to quarantine yourself for 14 days on your return 🤦🏻‍♂️.. Well I’m going anyway (if it’s going ahead), as the way things are […]

I don’t need to tell you what a mess this whole COVID-19 situation has made of the world, and no more so than in the film industry with productions halted, cinemas closed and film festivals across the world cancelled.

Then along came the Coronavirus. We […]

The Lance Interview

After three years of planning it finally happened. On May 13th 2019 the planets aligned and we sat down for 2 hours with pro skate legend Lance Mountain to discuss Rom, London and all things skateboarding. Can’t wait for everyone to see what Lance had to say. His knowledge of course is second to none but also he’s just a really decent guy. A HUGE thanks to LA based DP Gene Sung who really helped make the shoot a great […]
