Given the remote nature of our schedule, it was vital the kit was complete from day one, as there was no opportunity to adapt once we had set up camp. S+O are wonderful at giving the right kit for the job rather than working strictly to budget – if I say, I really want master primes for a job, but the client can only afford a CN7, they will always provide what I need to do the best by my clients.

A good facilities house is one that works with integrity and transparency, ensuring better kit, and people are available to service and execute the shoot so that Production can feel reassured that they are in safe hands. All the freelancers who work for S+O are similar with their outlook on life and that is something Steph and Olly have created. There’s competition but there’s not competition, there’s a lot of love and respect. It’s what I’ve grown up with as a DoP.
