âI find bands filming with polished setups in a venue really boring,â Trask says. âWe didnât have a plan, just a few days cooking for each other and fucking around, but it ended up a film of the bandâs writing sessions.â Influenced by the lo-fi approach of La Blogothèqueâs A Takeaway Show, the film is a point-and-shoot gem. Trask also roped in This Countryâs Charlie Cooper to appear in the trailer, as heâs a fan of Fat White Family, âto make the whole thing more grandiose than it isâ.
This isnât the first lockdown film Saoudi has made. Last year, he and Pregoblinâs Alex Selby began a shot-by-shot remake of The Shawshank Redemption. âI really believed I was going to finish it,â Saoudi says. â[But] it started taking five hours for every scene and it wasnât funny any more.â
