{Brace} Director’s Statement
{Brace} spoke to me on many levels when I read the script. First of all, being British, I have seen firsthand what gang culture is like in London. I also grew up wit the club scene out there and knew exactly how this film would look before I shot it.
In addition, the script was fascinating to me and I wanted to shoot this very honest and emotional storyline in the most beautiful way possible. Light and colour were paramount and I wanted every frame to show the vibrancy of the city and the nightlife, even in the most brutal of scenes.
{Brace} is a story that needs a voice – not just for those who are affected by the issues day to day, but also to educate the masses and enlighten everyone on the rising statistics regarding hate crime.
