Q: “So how did you move from the art department to the camera department?”

[Cinematographer Joel Honeywell]: “After I’d learned the ropes, I started to chat to the different camera crews a lot more as I was intrigued by what they did. One of them, Hopi Demattio, offered me a lot of advice and we bumped into each other on another job where he taught me more about what he did. After I left uni, I stayed in touch with Hopi and he called me to set one day to help out as a camera assistant. I continued to work with him from there and after four years as a clapper loader, I stepped up and began focus pulling, then a few years later, started shooting for myself.

I shot my very first video for a band called Haus and that really launched my career, leading me to work with director, Matilda Finn who is represented by Stink Films. We shot three videos together that all received award nominations and won Matilda Best New Director at UK MVA whilst getting my name out there at the same time. I got signed to WPA based off of those videos.”
