‘I was doing a small, British independent film called Archipelago, and it was set on an island off the coast of Cornwall, and all the actors playing the characters in this very suffocating family were staying in the actual house. It was a sort of extreme submersion into the life of the film. Whenever we were filming there, the crew had to switch the boiler off downstairs because the sound of the water heating up would interfere with the microphones. We would routinely forget to turn the boiler back on so we could have a hot shower in the morning. Basically, the first assistant director would always come up to say hello - just to knock on - in the morning, to say “We’re coming in - the crew are coming in”. It was a strange sort of Big Brother scenario sometimes, you’d feel like you didn’t actually have a house to live in, it you were just living on the set.’
