From 18th May to the 29th June we curated an online season of work as a way to explore new ways of working, keeping the company connected and to give you our followers and friends an insight into our process and work.
Benji and Abby Busk It with...
We explored how we formed as a company, created our work, talked to friends of the company and delved into the surface on some of the issues surrounding Black Lives Matter in the Industry.
We would like to thank James Hastings, Patrick Orkney, Eleanor Kane, Rob Gathercole, Shak Gabbidon-Williams and Tomi Ogbaro for their contribution to the podcast.
We are excited to share that we will be continuing to create the podcast on a monthly basis where company members will be talking to more industry professionals all about Actor-Muso work, industry chit chat and more.
