What a great year it’s been on the Sorolla project. The first third was taken up writing scripts, organising filming permits and arranging interviews for a week-long shoot for a work-in-progress Documentary down in Sevilla during the incredible April Fair. I was joined by an amazing team and many thanks go to Phil, Jack G, Jack K, James and Tom for making things a reality - I can’t think of a better bunch of guys to work with. The rest of the year was all about translating interviews, editing shots, recording voice-overs and putting together a showreel teaser and sequence. Now begins the hard work of generating some interest and getting the full doc made which will hopefully in 2019 - the centenary of the completion of Sorolla’s masterpiece, “Vision of Spain”.
