Change Please - Short Documentary

Filming short documentaries like this, where you have to search out the story, establish rapport with the subject and find ways to make the story as visually engaging as possible is exactly the reason I got into filmmaking. Commissioned by Change Please, this entire interview was shot and recorded in just under 40 minutes, and editing was completed the following day.

Meet Charles. He’s one of the many incredible Change Please baristas selling superior coffee to the public around the capital. He agreed to take a short break to talk on camera about his journey from becoming homeless, to running his own stall in Stratford, thanks to the Change Please initiative. Two weeks after this went online Charles was asked to appear on ITV's This Morning, telling his story and making coffee for Phillip Schofield & Fern Cotton!
