150 Years of Christmas – The Show's About to Begin

A simple film I shot with director and write Phoebe Bourke for the Royal Albert Hall’s 150 Birthday celebration.
Shot on a custom point of view (POV) rig I’ve developed.

In this year's Christmas card from us to you, join actress Bronté Barbé on a journey through the hustle and bustle of the Hall before taking your seats for a Christmas concert, encountering performers from the likes of the NYCGB, Kansas Smitty's and The Nutcracker en route.
