The Second Unit
The Second Unit
Freddie Newey
Meg and I met while studying film at Canterbury Christ Church University, we both love films and we’ve made short films together. Now that we’ve finished our course, whenever we meet up, we often just talk about films. So, it just kind of made sense to start recording these conversations and giving them a little direction and a little focus.

Raw - The Second Unit
How deep does Raw's metaphorical rabbit hole go? Are we looking at a commentary on the meat industry? Is this film all about sexual repression? Or is it just hungry hungry chomp chomp.
