I hadn’t expected the location to be in a basement. All the reference images of floor to ceiling windows with natural light flooding the space were immediately dropped. The kit had arrived the day before by the largest supplier in Italy and as to be expected crucial parts were missing. The space was strong. A converted basement gym now turned into a subterranean dwelling with inset jacuzzi pool. The film showcases the work of The Kneed. A luxury modern bag company known for items =made by the leather specialists of Florence, Italy.
After cleaning up the coffee which had accidentally spilt down an interior wall, rushing out to get a backup drive after over shooting and straining my back re-formulating the modular furniture, the entire crew had a celebratory beer and left. A local stranger had recommended a restaurant to us for our wrap dinner. It was packed tightly, loud, near a bridge and had a orange sign. The project was closed with endless food, a cheers to a new father and a platter of fresh figs.
