We are Sam and Sky, directors of POP!
POP! was shot over two weekends across five (one which was unusable) different locations, including the pitch black Morecambe beach.
It was a wild time committing ourselves to this ambitious project so much and we just can't wait for everyone to see our hard work put onto the screen.
Thanks to all our crew members, our actors who stayed with us for such a long shoot (and editing process) for a 7-minute short film.
