Before we begin

A coffee cup on concrete, with daisies beside it

Hi – I’m Rob.

Before We Open is something I’m starting on my own: a series of films about British makers in the hours before the public arrives. Capturing the moments we don’t normally get to see.

There’s no presenter, no interviews, no music.

Each film is one location, one morning, told in the order it happened. Anything that needs explaining will appear as a line of text on screen.

Everything else is the sound, feeling and bustle of the room.

There’s nothing filmed just yet, but I’m working on it.

If you’d like to know when that is, please sign up – there will be roughly one email a month, only when a new film goes up. Thanks for being here this early.

And if you run, or know, a small business that makes something, I’d like to hear from you.

– Rob
