Les & Mol
Les & Mol make films. With a firm passion for story-telling, Mol believes everyone has a story to tell, and everyone should have a go at telling it. Self-taught, and poorly educated at 'get-your-face-bashed-in-every-day school' in Mitcham, South London, he produces books, movies, & mayhem. Mols Moll, Lesley, long-suffering his inappropriate humour, fulfils the various other roles of script editor, continuity editor, sound recordist , and critic. They consider film making should not be just for the big companies, but a pursuit readily accessible to all. Mol says:
"There is no reason today, given the low cost of good quality technology, for everyone not to be making great movies for under £1000. The cheapest DSLR is capable of shooting films superior in quality to nearly all the films made up to the 1990s. The big film companies make money producing eye-candy. Small Indie film-makers, produce films with compelling narrative which often mirrors our human experience in profound ways. "
