  • Fun but insightful podcast

    Pip is a great interviewer, insightful in his questioning and allows conversation to flow naturally with his interviewees. The range of guests is impressive and it’s not the same cast of characters you often see working the podcast scene!

Q: What were your influences for the visual inspirations for this film?
It was basically like this because we're doing this mashup, it's also a mashup of both like high low inspiration where I can look at Goya and a Nike 90s freestyle ad.
