2024 in 10

Resisting the seemingly unstoppable spread of Spotify-style wraps of the year, here’s an ever-so-slightly random selection of ten highlights from our 2024 brought together in a good old fashioned blog…

#1

Moving into our new studio at MakeSpace. And making a really big desk. Again.

#2

Getting shortlisted for the Charity Film Awards for the rapidly turned-around #OlderNotOver campaign film (massive thanks again to Andy, Bekki, Caitlin, Danny and, of course, Susannah and all at Help Age)

#4

Reconnecting with friends and getting inspired when Matt went back to Fabrica for their 30th anniversary festival
