My personal channel: 340 shorts and a mini-series released in a year, tested on a real audience. It is not commissioned work: it is where I learn what holds attention, before applying it to your campaigns.

Parody fiction, labelled as such on every video. For a brand or a public body the rule is simple: never a real person’s face or voice without their written consent, and never satire.
