Ep34: Director KC Locke

Cinematographers on the Loose Podcast

We sit down for a frank, honest and very entertaining chat with director KC Locke (@kc.locke). We talk music videos, the Manchester scene, and KC’s journey from one-man band to building his production company, Swords & Eagles (@swordsandeagles), who today are prolific creators of some of the most innovative music videos in the UK.

Since recording this episode last year, KC has signed with a US rep, Swords & Eagles are going from strength to strength, and their new showreel has launched and you can see it here: https://www.swordsandeagles.com/
