CHRIS STRONG | DIRECTION | CREATIVE DIRECTION
I had a blast shooting this joyful Film for Bluestone Resort in Pembrookshire, Wales.
Tapping into my 90’s hip-hop roots, this was great fun to work on. Utilising a tongue-in-cheek cinematic head-nod (metaphorically, and literally) to a 90’s MTV Cribs and Yo MTV Raps pop-culture era, complete with subtle 90’s cartoon and Hip-Hop pastiche Sound Effects.And the music was composed by UK Hip-Hop legend Joe Buhdha! The cast and crew all had a wonderful time. It was a lovely shoot to end the year, and a great piece to start the year with!
