Chris Elliott – Co-Founder and Film Director at Sound & Colour commented…
“We love projects that shine a light on such an important topic and this is reflective of the chasm of inequality we see in society. Having a full thirty minutes to tell that story is refreshing in today’s bite sized content landscape and this allowed us to creatively sink our teeth into the subject.
We’ve worked with Dave for a long time now and have built a real understanding of his style of journalism and presenting, it’s a perfect collaboration where we’re given creative license to shape the story in as visually compelling a way as possible. I couldn’t be happier with how the film has turned out and the response it’s received.”
Savage commented
“I feel like we face some huge challenges as a society and industry. They can be told through words, numbers (statistics) and on a podcast. Sometimes they aren’t enough to fully explore the themes I want to. Film has given me a platform to share those narratives in a way I’d have struggled to without it, and Sound & Colour helped bring that to life. They took the ideas in my head and made it work on camera. It’s a collaboration that’s allowed me to share the stories I want to”.
