You know you get those notifications from some mobile apps "On this day..." and it shows you some photos you took? Well, it turns out that today, three years ago I was on a location scout for the (at the time) TV version of "Players" that we were working on with Mighty Village. They had a contact in a small village who would be willing to help us arrange a shoot there, so I went to check it out.
Since then of course, the funding has fallen out of the UK indie media industry and the project got refactored into a novel (out July 29th - there's other posts about that if you're interested), but I thought it interesting enough to post some of the images I took then.
