PODCAST - BOB PARTINGTON
28 September 2018

When Isabella Parish of 1st Ave Machine first showed us the work of Bob Partington, we just knew we had to have a conversation with him.

Part-director and part-mad-professor, the Canadian uses his engineering background to form a unique approach to film-making and DAVID had the suspicion that he'd be an extremely engaging subject for a podcast... and so it proved.


The David Reviews podcasts would not be possible without the wonderful people at String & Tins. They provide studio facilities, a brilliant sound engineer, editing assistance, invaluable advice and unbeatable hospitality.
