Inside the big issue
In the heart of London, a dedicated team of outreach support workers from The Big Issue magazine moves through the city’s hidden corners, meeting people who are fighting to rebuild their lives. This 28-minute documentary follows their daily mission to empower the most marginalized and people living on the edge of society.
Through raw testimonies and striking moments of humanity, the film reveals what drives these workers, the obstacles they face, and the quiet strength required to keep hope alive on London’s streets.
Love of LIGHT
At dawn, when the world is still asleep, Anthony begins to chase the light that defines his art. Through its lens, cities like London, Paris and Venice come alive in a way few ever see: soft, fleeting and full of meaning. This scene explores his lifelong fascination with light, how it shapes his creativity, and what it reveals about the way he sees the world.
off the grid
High above the seaon England’s south coast, Dave lives alone on the edge of a cliff, far from the noise of the modern world. No electricity, no running water, just the sea and the wind. From his tent and makeshift home, he reflects on the choices that brought him here. What begins as the portrait of a man living off the grid slowly becomes a story about resilience and freedom.
Montage
This sequence unfolds as a cinematic montage, a visual dialogue between Anthony and Venice. Through the rhythm of light, water, and stone, it’s not just a portrait of a place, but of an artist in quiet conversation with beauty itself.
Venice is unique
In this scene, Anthony is in Venice, Italy, one of the most visually unique cities in the world, shaped as much by water as by time. As he moves through its narrow streets and canals, he reflects on what draws him here: the shifting light, the quiet rhythm of its architecture, and the way every reflection seems to come alive. Through his own words, Anthony reveals why Venice continues to challenge and inspire him as an artist.
