who is Johnnie boden?
Sometimes you just have to tell someone straight - what it is you’d love to do -see if it chimes.

20 minutes later he replied, we met and 7 years work began. So far we’ve made over 40 films for them, including this one.

I can honestly say I have loved getting to know this man and he’s had huge influence on our company.
