Ginger Nation
'Critics Choice' Sunday Times
'Watch This' The Guardian
'Pick of the Day' Time Out
In this half hour authored documentary, director Elliot Kew tracks down the gene responsible for giving him red hair. In the course of his investigation into the evolutionary disadvantages of being a red head, he contemplates his own genetic demise, and finally envisions an alternative world where the ginger gene takes over.
Ginger Nation was screened on Channel 4 at 7:30pm on Friday 25th October, 2002, and repreated at 7.30pm, Friday 19th April 2003
Project notes Ginger Nation was a great project to work on from start to finish. Elliot who wrote, directed, produced and hosted the programme had almost daily meetings with me to go over the music and to look over the new cuts - either in the Edit Suite with Gordon (the Editor) or in my Studio. All the music I composed for the score at the (daily) demo stage was used in the film.
Gordon would recieve the music and import it directly into the Avid & cut with it. Later that day I'd have a new cut. All I had to do was wait for a picture lock and do a final mix for all the music.
