This week we are joined by Richard Oakes, Director & Director of Photography. We're lucky to have nabbed some of Rich's time just days before his debut feature film, Hosts, is released in North America (before it hits the rest of the world in early 2021). We take a journey back to Rich's first experiences behind a camera in rural Wales, to making a name for himself in the world of music video production and finally meeting his creative partner Adam Leader and developing an identity in the world of film. This is one half of a double bill to celebrate the release of Hosts.
