Why did you pick this subject for Fresh?

I picked this subject to inform the UK on fixed-gear cycling, show them its simplistic nature, encourage people to try it and express themselves.

What motivated you to make this film?

My passion for fixed gear cycling and the thought that all hobbies allow you to be free and expressive.

What are your plans for the future?

My plans are to graduate from Staffordshire University and look for a job as a runner for the TV industry.

What is the most important thing you have learned so far?

I have learnt to be persistent with what I am creating, to not stop until I know I did everything I could to make a project what it is.
