3 is (still) the Magic Number
Charlie, Sophie and Kelvin, striking a pose outside our secret lair’s front door.
It’s said that good things come in threes*, and whilst we may be biased we couldn't agree more. As such, we’re absolutely chuffed to announce three fantastic new additions to the Good Ship Angry!
Please put your hands together (or gesture a big hello using semaphore if you’re here for the nautical references) and welcome aboard the terrific trinity that is Junior Producer Charlie Maxwell, Editor Sophie Farrell and Production Manager Kelvin Fred-Horsfall!
Charlie comes to us off the back of an extended stay in British Columbia (no, we weren’t jealous either) where she was working remotely as a Multimedia Producer and sometimes Editor - for educational bodies including Northwestern University and a little place called Harvard. Before her time in the mountains she studied film at Goldsmiths right here in London. From there, she set out cutting her teeth in the camera department, shooting with clients such as Selfridges, Universal Music, and the BBC, and was even mentored by Robbie Ryan, no less (again, still not jealous).
“After spending two years living and working in Canada, I’m really excited to be back in the UK, especially London. In the past my roles have always been along the lines of a ‘small cog in a big machine’; only being involved in a small part of a much larger whole but with 3AM I get to see projects all the way through, from creative through to delivery. Everyone here is super-talented, everyone’s happy to wear a few different work hats and I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can about short form content!”

Next up we have Sophie who, coincidentally, studied the same film course as Charlie at Goldsmiths, albeit a little later down the line. Graduating in 2019 she didn’t hang around and began running for production stalwarts BLINK and later award-winning feature filmmakers Archer’s Mark. It wasn’t long before the editing bug bit her though, and she started freelancing for the likes of Somesuch, Excel Films and Olyvon. Outside of filmmaking she’s an ardent music fan and is part of a vinyl-focused DJ collective in South East London.
On joining Team Angry she had this to say: “I’ve been freelancing for sometime, and whilst that comes with its own perks, I’ve really missed the camaraderie, team-spirit and drive that you get from working closely with the same team, all focused on the same projects. 3angrymen really appealed because they’re clearly a lovely bunch of people and I’m sure it’s no accident that as a result they create really lovely work!”
Sophie Farrell
Last - but by no means least - along the gangplank and through the hatch is Kelvin, our new Production Manager. Another London local, Kelvin hails from Tottenham and (much to Thom’s chagrin) will happily bend your ear to laud his beloved Spur’s recent performances. Away from the pitch Kelvin’s background is a rich tapestry - having worked across global branded campaigns for the likes of Plan International, Mediacom and Wired, and before joining us at Angry Towers Kelvin threw himself into the world of TV drama courtesy of Fully Focused Productions.
“When I first came across 3angrymen, the thing that stood out to me the most was how much their content aligned with my ethos: striving for excellence whilst maintaining a moral compass. Getting to chat to everyone it really became clear to me how this was true not just for the work they put out but for the team themselves. They’re really set on creating the best work they can and I’m really looking forward to being part of something that has that kind of drive behind it!”
Kelvin Fred-Horsfall
Welcome to the team one and all! All three have got stuck straight into some fantastic new projects we’ve had come down the pipeline, and we can’t wait to spend the rest of the summer cooking up some new work with them!
*Lions on a shirt, Amigos, Hanson brothers, the list is long and illustrious
