TWICE ABOVE THE ATLANTIC 

Director: Marcus Warner

Release date: January 2023

 

Six years in the making, Twice Above the Atlantic is a coming-of-age documentary celebrating the spirit of youth, challenges of travel, and pursuit of the great American road trip.

 

The film was made entirely by myself, from shooting on a Canon 550D in 2016 to editing, colour grading and sound design from the start of 2020 to mid-2022. The movie tells the story of my year as an exchange student in America, fixing up two malaise-era automobiles, and attempting to complete a 10,000 mile road trip in the final 36 days. As a musician, the soundtrack was a major focus of the project, inspired by the music I was listening to at the time, and released on all digital platforms as a forerunner to the film. Working entirely through the internet mid-pandemic, co-composer Aiden Appleton and myself found eight featuring artists to lend their vocal talents from the UK, US, and Canada.

SCOTLAND: WHERE THE EARTH MEETS THE SKY

Director: Marcus Warner

Release date: March 2019

 

Where the Earth Meets the Sky tells the story of a 1200-mile journey north to record five musicians in Glasgow and experience some of the best scenery the UK has to offer.

 

Affectionately labeled half vlog/half documentary, this film was made with one camera, one microphone and a drone over a week of travelling to record a new track. Alongside me on the journey was Eva Neuberger, whose help and cinematography made the film what it is and allowed us to get some incredible footage whilst driving. Special thanks go to Tom Campbell-Paine, who gathered a group of musicians to take part in the piece, and to BMG, Runrig and Paul Mounsey, for allowing me to cover 'An Toll Dubh' as part of the soundtrack.

A MATTER OF TIME

Director: Marcus Warner

Release date: June 2018

 

My first official music video, and to date still  perhaps the one I am most proud of. The leading role was played by fellow student (at the time) Matthew Mainprize; the Datsun 180B generously provided for the shoot and driven by Paul Featherstone; a camera car and additional footage was provided by Barnaby Abbott. Shot on location in London, Devon, and Wiltshire.

 

 

In March 2024 I made the decision to pursue my filmmaking as a hobby by creating monthly videos talking about my writing and production techniques, life in the home studio, and work process; the first episode is an hour-long free preview of what virtual instruments I use!
