Filmed in a weekend to test out a set of anamorphic lenses, From The Embers was an exercise in working without sound and was built around a poem written for the purposes of the film. More arthouse than Jon and Chris' other work, it was a fun project to work on because of the small team of friends involved and the end product makes stunning use of the Cornwall scenery.
