Teddy Picker

'Teddy Picker' is a stylish neon drenched Short film that tells the story of a father who's hard up on his luck trying to win a Teddy for his daughter at a Teddy Picker machine, whilst some drama in his life unfolds via a series of intense phone-calls, sending him into a panic amongst the twinkly chaos of the frantic seafront illuminations of Southend-On-Sea.

    Our Cinematographer, James Lahaise, has been working in the UK film industry for many years. James has shot award winning short films, been commissioned to shoot an artists film for the British Music Museum on Super 8 film, as well as music videos that have been featured on Promonews and David Reviews, while he also works as a Camera Assistant across feature films, TV dramas, commercials and music videos. James works as an AC while building his body of work as a DoP so that he can build up his technical knowledge, set experience and learn from those more experienced than he is, while also building his network. James is also a keen photographer in his free time, enjoying working with 35mm and 120mm analogue film here. Analogue film is a medium he is particularly fond of, as he has experience loading both 35mm and 16mm professionally.
