Andrea Olding: Script Writer/Editor

Andrea wrote Bongo Reef’s first two film shorts, ran around a lot for one of them, and script edited the next two. A school teacher and mother by trade, Andrea is hoping they know how to make a nice cup of tea in Hollywood.

Doug Bryson: Film Editor

Doug spent much of his youth trying to make movies on a VHS camcorder the size of a small car. Fast forward a few years and he now freelance edits prime time telly. The LA mansion can wait. But not much longer...

Mark Langton: Director of Photography

It's all about looking like you know what you’re doing - looking serious and professional can often be mistaken for blind confusion. Mark’s been getting paid to play with cameras for over 15 years now, things like Top Gear, Horizon and Tomorrow's World. Independent short films are the Yang to the appalling Yin that is reality/celebrity deep-fried TV.

Grant Olding: Composer

Grant is an award winning composer whose work has been seen in the West End, at the National Theatre, off-Broadway and regionally at places such as Chichester Festival Theatre, West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Watermill. He is currently under commission at the NT writing a new chamber musical and is starting to branch out into tv and film composing. Grant is no relation to Paul or Andrea…

Peter Godfrey: Composer

Peter’s “official” job involves teaching music and attempting to maintain order as Head of Year at a high school in Stafford. By night he throws himself into composing music for film and TV projects, often working until the early hours of the morning at his music desk in the corner of the ironing/junk room which doubles as a recording studio. Not exactly “rock and roll”, but it does the job and it’s better than being banished to the freezing, spider-infested garage!
