River Axe Media

One evening in early 2024, Xander was hosting an open mic night at his local pub, filming the event for online promotion. Whilst he was shooting, his eyes met those of another man who was filming the performances as well. Their eyes met across the crowded room and the pair exchanged their first words together."Cool camera!""Thanks man, you too!" The man was Ryan, and little did they know how much they had in common - a shared love for filmmaking, a truly terrible sense of humour and the fact they lived next door to each other and were only now meeting.
