A SELECTION OF PRESS ABOUT MY WORK:
“Viewers may be sick of the overload of con artist material by now, yet this is an exception. A thrilling investigation into the pitfalls of online currency and modern-day greed. This is a well-crafted documentary that will shock and excite in equal measures.” Adam Lock, Ready Steady Cut (TRUST NO ONE: THE HUNT FOR THE CRYPTO KING)
“STREAM IT. Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King offers a solid payoff for your time investment. It’s an absorbing cautionary tale about trust in general, and how unscrupulous humans will always exploit it.” John Serba, The Decider (TRUST NO ONE: THE HUNT FOR THE CRYPTO KING)
“The story is told at such a brisk pace that you can’t help but be swept up in it. It is a model of economy in a genre prone to excess. More like this please.” Stuart Heritage, The Guardian (TRUST NO ONE: THE HUNT FOR THE CRYPTO KING)
“Bad Sport's look at 1994's Arizona State point-shaving scandal, transcends the talking-head-true-crime machine.” Brady Langman, Esquire (BAD SPORT - HOOP SCHEMES)
“Episode 1, titled “Hoop Schemes,” is maybe the most engrossing entry in the series” 3.5/4 stars. Richard Roeper, The Chicago Sun - Times (BAD SPORT - HOOP SCHEMES)
“STREAM IT. Netflix’s recent push into sports-focused programming has offered up some great, eminently-viewable content, and Bad Sport is a continuation of that trend. Let’s hope they keep it going this strong” Scott Hines, The Decider (BAD SPORT - HOOP SCHEMES)
“Impressively directed powerful exploration of social mobility“
Gerard O’Donovan, The Telegraph (GENERATION GIFTED - THE GIRLS)
”What made this documentary excellent was that it tackled the social mobility crisis not via graphs and studies, but from a child’s-eye view.” 5 stars
Carol Midgley, The Times (GENERATION GIFTED - THE GIRLS)
“The most devastating documentary of the week is this harrowing look at homelessness in Barking & Dagenham. It adeptly captures the misery of the current housing situation. Upsetting but essential”
Sarah Hughes, The Observer (NO PLACE TO CALL HOME)
“This film counts the human cost of the housing crisis. It’s a tragedy unfolding in slow motion. Bleak but essential”
Phil Harrison, The Guardian (NO PLACE TO CALL HOME)
“Luke Sewell’s film was a remarkably sincere exploration of the kinds of ordinary crises that drive men to haul themselves through mud and fire, to climb walls and swim through ice cubes in search of redemption. Along the way, it quietly dispelled a lot of myths about middle-aged men.”
Tim Dowling, The Guardian (MODERN TIMES: WEEKEND WARRIORS)
“Director Luke Sewell’s skilful film wasn’t really about the Tough Mudder. It was about modern masculinity and relationships – between fathers and sons, mothers and mummy’s boys, best friends and manly rivals. As such, it was disarmingly intimate.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph (MODERN TIMES: WEEKEND WARRIORS)
“A profound and sympathetic insight into mired manhood. This documentary told me more about men than anything since Detectorists” 5 Stars
Andrew Billen, The Times (MODERN TIMES: WEEKEND WARRIORS)
