The Story Unfolds
This is where I hope to give you an insight into the process of researching, developing and making films about Rome's Forgotten War. Here you'll find interviews with relevant experts, artefacts, documents and locations that seem particularly important or inspiring. Interview excerpts have been cut with experimental images using an AI generator, both as a fun way to illustrate these chats and to begin exploring how we might use this technology in film.
