My fourth and final SERVANT episode is out today on AppleTV+. Lensed by Swiss maestro Gabriel Lobos, edited by genius @rjeanpierre and beautifully graded by @michaelhatzer Also some wicked choreo by @fark_eta Big shoutout to producer @catwolfmcgrath who has been such a joy to work with across all four eps. And of course to the one & only M. Night!

SERVANT season four came out this weekend on @appletvplus it was an honour to direct the season opener for @mnight - an insane nightmare-ish set piece of an episode written by the extremely talented & lovely @chaisso set almost entirely in a parked car, almost zero dialogue - it was a very fun challenge here’s a lil scene, some stills & some other bits - including the genius storyboard work of @rupertsmissen big shoutout to @lowellmeyer who DOP’d it so beautifully & creatively. he is my new brother. And so is @antonmiasnikov , the world’s greatest AC. Incredible vfx work by @naraivy, Ed Mendez and the team at Powerhouse A massive shoutout also to @nelltigerfree who had to put herself through the mill on what was an extremely physical episode - and did so with such incredible talent & good humour. go watch it! unless you suffer from ornithophobia (fear of birds). in which case, do not. xxx

delighted to be stepping into the WHONIVERSE 💙 an honour to direct block 1 of the relaunch for the stupendously talented @russelltdavies63 @bbc @disneyplus day 1 of many began today! 🎥

Did this commercial for Wild and basically had a great time. However, working with a polar bear = absolute nightmare. One thing nobody tells you is that they're actually incredibly violent animals. We lost four sparks and two camera trainees in the first hour. Plus, he was v difficult about catering - 'SEALS, SEALS, SEALS' was all he emailed us when we asked if he wanted the meat or veggie lasagne for lunch??? Would not recommend. But would strongly recommend the great people who helped me through it: Project Manager - Lexy Fox Associate Creative Director - Adam Newby Art Director - Lucy Johnston Copywriter - Grace Chambers Agency Producer - Felicity Cruickshank ECD - Helen Rhodes Exec Producer - Callum Harrison & Miles Nathan Producer - Scarlett Barclay  Production Manager - Emily Mulkerrins CAST Jessica Barker-Wren CREW Director - Dylan Holmes Williams  Intimacy Coordinator - Katherine Hardman  Location Manager - Amrit Sahotay  Medic - Akinsanya Nissi  1st Assistant Director - Ty Hack Runner - Rosie Meyer  Runner / Green Steward - Maxwell Benjamin  Director of Photography - Olan Collardy  Focus Puller - Oliver Bingham  Loader - Sabina Claici Camera Trainee - Norbert Varjasi  Grip - Michael Farral  DIT - Luke Mccarthy  Playback - Ryan Booth  Gaffer - Vini Curtis Best Boy - Jake Buckley  Spark - Richard Scott  Trainee - Dale Healy Production Designer - Sarah Asmail  Assistant Art Dir - Tasneem Elnayal Prop Assistant - Harry Beedle  Prop Assistant - Jumana abdelsalam  Stylist - Suzie Walsh Hair & Make-up Artist - Jess Summer  Puppeteer - Jonny Sabbagh  Sound Op - Alessandra Fasto Security - Richard Johnson POST Editor - Hettie Griffiths Colour - Jonny Tully @ Cheat VFX - Harry Davidson Music - Ned Sound design Online - Cheat

Almost done on Servant season 4. Wouldn’t have been as fun without this legend @nelltigerfree. 📸 @ishy_night

A few stills from my second episode of ‘Servant’ - episode 308 ‘Donut’ on AppleTV+. Plus some nice words.

Some BTS and a few more of my favourite stills from my first episode of ‘Servant’. Working with Swiss maestro Gabriel Lobos DOP (2 cool for Instagram) was a dream.
