editor’s note:
When life gives you lemons, just say ‘F*ck the lemons’ and do it anyway. Without trying to sound like a terrible self- help book or a column by Mystic Meg, sometimes you have to recalibrate. That reset or new direction doesn’t mean you’ve failed – well, not always. It just means you may have to take the scenic route. It’s not uncommon.
In this edition, we speak to artist Kavel Rafferty about cat’s eyes and losing the detail, while Maidstone cinematographer James Friend shoots on his Oscar and filming All Quiet on The Western Front.
We speak to selector Sir Charlie as he embarks on a journey into sound system culture, while actor Ben Wiggins chats about his new role in hit Netflix show You. The United Freedom Collective creates space, while we also celebrate The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever.
