Nour, Ahmad and Mayass

What’s worse than having to go to school?

Having no school to go to.

I’m proud to have made this film with my amazing Silverfish Media colleagues for Theirworld, a charity getting on with it and getting Syrian refugee kids into school.

If you can spare a moment to spread the word or send the cash, you know what to do.

Meanwhile, for a definition of pluck, watch Nour, Ahmad and Mayass.

The Butcher of Bekaa

Bekkaa762fb

In Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, on a charity mission with my excellent colleagues from Silverfish Media, I asked this butcher if I could photograph him.  He was happy, even toothlessly proud, for me to capture his handiwork.

But as soon as I started snapping, the guys in the background moved towards me fast, shaking their fists – and not in a good way.

I didn’t want to end up like the cow, so I put my camera away.

Political advice from a hobbit

Yes, Gogglebox Scarlett totally dissed the Labour film I made with Martin Freeman and the heroes who are Silverfish Media

… but she did it so hilariously.  Totally love her.
