In this casual yet candid interview with Luka Pinto, I learn how skateboarding isn't a hobby or something one becomes a fan of, but rather a lifestyle choice that includes an important social element. Here in Jersey, skaters don't buy into skating culture or even have tribal instincts about their group; the skating itself is the most important thing. I expected to compare skating to sport but instead, as we will hear, there is something deeper going on at that-there skate park by the harbour. Just as long as someone remembers to bring a DV cassette. https://www.instagram.com/ookliokh/

His career, likewise is a balance between somewhat mundane client work and his ambitions to grow as a director of narrative based short films and music videos.

Leilani of Barbados is a Youtuber who appeared on my radar when she uploaded a series of videos reacting to the Real Housewives of Jersey. Since then she has tapped into a rich vein of interest by discussing Harry & Megham. We talk about her journey on Youtube, about going viral and how to strike a balance between what an audience wants to watch and what a video maker want to make and be known for. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKAri_kZd0af9LhnawuTVGQ https://www.instagram.com/leilaniofbarbados/   Leilani video'ed her interview which you can watch on her youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewX0mZtzLAU&t=1282s&ab_channel=LeilaniOfBarbadosLeilaniOfBarbados

Chantelle Mundy is a former Miss Battle of Flowers and a top-of-her-class graduate of the Vancover Film School. She is an intelligent, confident and articulate business savy entrepreneur; and yet, at 25 is still unashamedly girly, warm and fun. Included in this interview we had a lot of fun talking about the leaked footage of the dancing police men at Corbiere and how the finished film for the Covid-19 Track & Trace team differed so much from those early toxic public expectations.  https://maplerockstudios.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzPt7Jgr1SU&t=70s&ab_channel=MapleRockStudios https://www.youtube.com/user/chant7elle
