says: “This film is my attempt to capture the London courier scene. I’ve seen countless great films about New York or San Francisco and so I felt it was time to capture what it was to be a courier in the city I live in. I wanted to make something that gave an insight into a world which most people dont have access to. To open the lid on this facinating culture that outsiders are rarely allowed to see.
“I also wanted to create something that couriers themselves could relate to and feel proud about whether they were in the film or not. The film is based around a series of interviews that took place over the winter and spring. I then shot all the extra footage either from my bike(trying to keep up with riders with my helmet-cam) or from locations around London, before beginning the massive task of editing it down to this final length. And as with most things I had help from numerous friends from camera work, to animation, to writing music.”
