Trivia
When working as Producer on "How not to disappear completely" (2015) After ruling out every rooftop basketball court location in London due to lighting, sound or availability issues, Stuart J. Parkins reluctantly agreed to shoot on a ground level basketball court. Even after the scene had been shot, Producer Chris Carr refused to give up. He continued to search and in the final week of the shoot found the perfect location, in Peckham. The scene was re-shot on the penultimate night of principle photography. Chris' persistence paid off and the basketball scene is one of the most visually striking and memorable scenes in the film.
