AOP GOLD FOR MADE IN JAPAN
Very pleased our film Made in Japan has been awarded Gold in this year’s AOP Awards.
Really pleased to win a Gold in this year’s AOP Awards for our short documentary film on Japanese denim.
It’s fantastic to be part of this years line up - a run down of all the winners can be seen here at the BBC and Guardian websites.
Made in Japan' is a short film documenting the Japanese denim mills in Okayama.
From the indigo dyeing and cotton warp yarning, to the weaving and finishing of the cloth the film celebrates the skilled crafts people who are integral to this world renowned denim making process.
We spent 2 weeks in Japan travelling cross country from Tokyo to Okayama the birth place and spiritual home of Japanese denim.
NATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS CUBA
I was lucky enough to visit the National School of Arts in Cuba – just outside Havana. This amazing building dates back to the early 1960s – considered one of the most outstanding architectural achievements of the Cuban Revolution.

Fidel Castro commissioned Cuban architect Ricardo Porro a Latin American modernist to design this amazing structure.
