Cast: An orchestra of British buskers
Camera: Vic Marwaha
Edited by: Jamie Foord
Music produced by: Julian Simmons at DIN
Produced by Julie Claire for Triplestop Films
Compsed and Directed by: Benjamin Till
Benjamin considered this film to be his best work to date. Shot in astonishing locations across London, in glorious sunshine, this film features over 100 buskers, who were all recorded separately to create an orchestral sound.
Buskers include a bagpiper, a sheng player, 20 strings, 12 woodwinds, a brass band, a rock band, a Colombian flamenco vocalist and a musical saw!
Shot in two and a half days, it starts on a rooftop overlooking St James' Park, and ends by the river at Canary Wharf.
Benjamin wishes to sincerely thank Julie Clare for working so tirelessly to create the film
