Directed by Darius Norowzian it was one of 11 films produced by Flare for Hilton. I produced the US ones and supervised post on others.

Title: Sky Arts Refresh
Production company: Sky Creative
Agency: Sky Creative Agency
Director: Andrea Kapos
Producer: Cleo Hodgkinson
My Role: undefined
Additional Information: This promo was commissioned to announce the merging of Sky Arts 1 & 2. It meant shooting interviews with some of the amazing talent that work for Sky. Asking them what they liked about various genres in the arts it produced some wonderful sound bites. With very little time allowed for each interviewee we had to be clever with the use of locations and making it feel like a casual chat with a friend, it worked really well. A highlight for me to work with some of the icons of the entertainment industry.
Title: Electric Sceptics
Production company: Flare
Agency: AMVBBDO
Director: Andrea Kapos
Producer: Cleo Hodgkinson
My Role: Producer (Production & Agency)
Additional Information: This is a cutdown from an on-line campaign of 8, commissioned by Department of Transport to encourage uptake of electric cars. It required us to find 8 specific and different brands of electric cars with owners who were prepared to be filmed in them, then find out what they didn't like and look for a real person who was involved in that field. They met for the first time with us before going on a road trip to talk about the car and their interests. We used almost the same crew throughout as the project took nearly 6 months from approval to delivery. This was my favourite, but they were all great fun to work on. None of the long versions available any more.
Title: Mad Dogs 2 Launch Promo

Agency: Sky Creative Agency
Director: David Edwards
Photographer: Morgan Silk
Producer: Cleo Hodgkinson
My Role: undefined
Additional Information: This was the launch promo for 2nd series of Mad Dogs on Sky One. With limited availability of the talent we had a lot to do in 2 days with a promo and stills campaign to cover. Palma Pictures in Mallorca were the facility company who did an amazing job on helping us make it happen. It was also incredibly hot and in the middle of the holiday season and there was no access to any beaches, so we had to create a desert in a scrubby field which was quite a challenge. Working with David Edwards and Morgan Silk was a great pleasure.
