FA TRIBES

We’ve made the last of this season’s FA Tribes series. This has been a wonderful project to work on, especially for our editors who all got the chance to do an edit each. Thank you to everyone who worked on the project and a special mention to Simone Stewart for producing the series and finding all the amazing people featured. We want to give a big shout out to Edward Rourke for filming some incredible and heartfelt moments on camera. Shots like those are only ever captured when the subjects truly feel at ease. We look forward to working together again soon.
