Infinite Journey

The film visualises a segment of an interstellar objects journey through the vastness of space. The ambiguity of the rocks purpose is key. Does the object carry life, with the capacity to take it from one place to another? Does the rock continue on an endless journey, never making contact with any other surface, until the end of the universe? Will any life form ever witness the rocks journey?

Terry Tabloid / Short Film

Tabloid Terry is a glimpse into the mind of a tragic man unable to find meaning from a life dogged by divorce, alcoholism and a brain fuelled by the red tops. His views are honest, but never considerate. You will never hear him say sorry nor will he ever conclude that any of his misfortunes are his fault.

Grass Roots / Promo

The book 'Grass Roots' is a season long look at the UK’s unofficial home of
Sunday League Football – Hackney Marshes – and how the many
people who populate its pitches are the real lifeblood of the beautiful
game.
This photographic project, shot on a medium format film camera by
Simon Di Principe celebrates the cultural diversity of those who
venture out into East London for a 10:30am kick off: week in, week
out for nothing more than the pleasure of playing.
Grass Roots is a healthy reminder about what a welcoming city
London is, the breadth of community spirit that can be fostered
through organised sports leagues and how amateur football is a
gateway to settling into a happy life in Britain.

Grass Roots is available from Thursday 1 September 2016

First Edition of 300 copies
