Entering the world of TV
Alongside writer/director Oliver Mason, Syd was picked as one of only 11 filmmaking teams for the BORN DIGITAL: FIRST CUT scheme in 2019 and was commissioned by the BBC and BFI to make a short film surrounding the 30th anniversary of the world wide web. Their docu-drama hybrid film, Have We Met Before? chronicles the different ways gay men have hooked up throughout different decades from the 1970's to the present day.
After premiering on BBC Four in March 2019, the film is now available in BBC iPlayer to watch for a limited time here.
