Short Bio and Review:
Garth Jennings born 1972 in Epping, Essex – UK and Nick Goldsmith born 1971, UK have a production company named ‘Hammer & Tongs’. They made inventive music videos for Blur, Pulp and R.E.M. With their debut feature film, an adaptation of Douglas Adams’ ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’, they showed off a sweet sensibility that belied the metallurgical toughness of that name, and with the just-released ‘Son of Rambow’, they go one step further.

Some great movies have come out of the collaboration between these two people.

Have you seen their work? What do you think about it?
