Mayor of London — KATIE DAWSON FILMS

Sadiq Khan played a cameo role in the opener to the London MTV EMA’s but as his schedule was so tight, he was only available for 20 minutes. He still arrived on set with dignity and respect for everyone present. Making sure before we started that he shook hands with every crew member even the runners standing on the side lines which I thought was a really nice touch and instantly put everyone at ease. Working with the Mayor of London had its benefits, as we had a whole section of Charing Cross underground station with its own platforms either side, to film our story. The trains pulled in to the tunnel, then backed out again so we could do another take. Chris Stevens was DOP, crazy hours & not much time for setting up but the results speak for themselves.
