Shane Holly & Brian Walsh // Live on a street in Dublin

We were meant to do this in a dark room, but on the day the sun was shining and it seemed silly to go inside. So we dragged out the gear and made loud noises for a couple of hours, getting sunburned and meeting some of our neighbours. They were lovely and didn't mind the noises.

WE OWN THE STREETS // Wepisode 1 // Road Trip

Virgin filmmaker Alan Kavanagh grapples with the undefinable talents of XL – living-room music producer, free-runner, free spirit.

But who is this man of mystery? XL is a free-thinker, free-spirit, free-runner, and self-styled music impresario. While on work experience with Alan, cameraman Ian came across XL on a music chatroom while looking for a free white-label music soundtrack. Alan saw some small screen potential in XL’s free-wheeling movements and thoughts.

Rigorously applying the tropes of cinema verité, Alan always shoots on location, in real time and employs no artificial lighting, props, special effects, or caterers. His vision is to show the world the world through XL’s eyes. The aspects of cinematography that Alan strives to capture are raw action, lighting, an element of surprise, good-looking actors, and the hardest of all to capture – love.
