We’ve all figured out how to continue shooting in this pandemic which means projects should slowly continue to increase for next year. Myself and View Shift have various projects planned throughout the next 12 months including a lot of exciting music videos which is something to keep us all moving forward and feeling positive about next year.”

What came first, drumming or filmmaking?

Harris Tomlinson-Spence: Drumming definitely came first, but very shortly after that, I started to mess around with cameras, at a pretty young age. I remember starting to film myself drumming and creating drum covers, I would say that was the earliest point of trying to combine both music and filmmaking. Shortly after that, I started to shoot videos with friends and various content away from just music.
