Borat

Here we have a laugh out loud homage to Borat from Andrew Williams with a particularly Hull vibe shot in late December during a short lunch break  with his newly acquired Secret Santa gift from the office party Andrew stepped up to the mark to make this image. He is a very brave man!

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (or simply Borat) is a 2006 British-American mockumentary comedy film. The film was written and produced by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen who also plays the title character, Borat Sagdiyev, a fictitious Kazakh journalist travelling through the United States recording real-life interactions with Americans.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Well at last  I have succumbed after much cajoling to create my own  Hullywood Icon. The temptation to do a selfie in the bell tower of Holy Trinity was great but after researching the 1939 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame starring Charles Laughton I realised that the mise-en-scene was everything as the film had one of the largest and most extravagant sets ever constructed. Following a serendipitous meeting with Reverend Neal whilst shooting Cosette from Les Miserables in Trinity Square on a cold December morning I approached Holy Trinity Church to recreate a classic moment from the film.
