Smiley Face was a UCL Film & TV Society project that I was part of during my first and second years at university.
I was initially only the director of photography, but ended up also becoming the writer, co-producer, sound designer, VFX artist etc... a typical FilmSoc labour of love.
We shot with the camera Christopher Nolan used for Following (1998), which had sat derelict in the UCL FilmSoc studio for a long while - even after his intervention, in getting it partially restored. I worked over the summer together with a technician at Arri in Uxbridge to get it working.
