WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
“Simon Pickup had an extraordinary passion and a vision, designed a fantastic set for the film, and gave every ounce of energy in his body to make the film as good as possible...A BBC designer came on set one day and proceeded to tell us that what we were doing couldn’t be done for the money we had, and it was impossible. Well Simon proved him wrong”. THE GUERILLA FILM MAKERS HANDBOOK, Chris Jones and Genevieve Jolliffe.
“Simon had created this unbelievably beautifully detailed set that just meant we could shoot in every direction”. Chris Jones
