Don’t Stop

Don’t Stop is a charity film made for Greenpeace UK in collaboration with music producer Fraser T Smith and his re-working of the Fleetwood Mac song, “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.” This is no ordinary cover: it is a contemporary fable about being young in the world today. The song is a call to action for people worried about their future and the state of the planet, and a rallying cry for those who dream of a better tomorrow.

Samona is attracted to stories which examine or scrutinize the human condition. He’s interested in observing how humans react under immense pressure or extraordinary circumstances, questioning what it means to be human. It’s an opportunity for catharsis and in-turn an opportunity for collective progress.
