I’ve managed to squeeze in a fair bit of niche music into the pages of the Guardian over the years, but especially chuffed with getting to cover the waltzer sound system wars of Hull Fair. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...
Oggy oggy oggy! The donk-tacular dance music of Hull’s huge funfair
With 600,000 people attending, Hull Fair is the UK’s biggest – and has a thrilling but overlooked musical subculture. We follow the blaring soundsystems to meet the DJs and MCs facing off in waltzer b...

Tbf those choices were likely made by the director Stephen Leckart and not solely the person in front of the camera.
*worth saying that people often attribute choices made by me as a director to the people that I film.
As a producer on this project he may have had input but not everything is him

I’m still thinking about this documentary; it’s so fascinating to me that Eminem a) made a documentary about his hardcore fans and b) made sure to feature women, POC, and an openly trans dude. It’s almost as if he wants people to know he’s not a right wing monster!
Anyway here's the trailer

Drove home from the Lake District to Nottingham and counted 54 England / union flags on the journey.
Most flags on 1 bridge - 5
2 particularly pathetic flags flying at half mast on lampposts as you come into nottingham - likely due the height of the hoister
The whole effort feels a bit half mast

I’d also recommend listening to the Bigger Loser ep of Maintenance Phase.
When I was filming @yrfatfriendfilm.bsky.social Aubrey @yrfatfriend.bsky.social was rewatching TBL as research. It was yikes on bikes, cruelty as spectacle.
I truly believe the makers of TBL did not see fat ppl as human

It is deeply strange to see images that I filmed, that would not exist if if hadn’t absolutely insisted that they were filmed, racking up tens of millions of views.
I can remember leaving the shot on Emilia’s face, trying to hold focus.
