Interesting facts

Burning Men is a 2019 film directed by Jeremy Wooding and written by both Neil Spencer and Wooding. It stars Edward Hayter as Ray, Aki Omoshaybi as Don, Elinor Crawley as Susie and Katie Collins as Gemma. The film was filmed in London, Norfolk and in the East Coast. It was inspired by vinyl record collecting.

Production

Wooding had the idea when he ran a record and CD stall in Camden Market. He stated, "I thought it would be nice to concoct a story set in this world" and has said that the Fens in Norfolk helped create a "dark eerie ambience". Lightbulb co-founders Peter Thompson and Matthew Kreuze said they were thrilled that they could be part of Burning Men.

The location of the film, in particular the east coast of England, helped make the road movie as it is seen, by the director, as an "atmospheric" location. Jeremy Wooding stated "Some kids in Yarmouth thought it was fantastic the town was going to be in a film.

The film was primarily intended for moviegoers in their 20s and it was important for Wooding to create the correct dialogue. The actors helped him so the film could be seen with a younger sensibility. The film was made into a person camera point of view, the actors have a forward-pointing camera mounted on a helmet so viewers see through the actor's eye's as if they were there themselves.
