Phillip Covell
Aliens - Moviecam by Cinefocus

As a movie brat, Cinefocus was where I spent my formative years before entering the industry as a professional.

 

Established in '74, Cinefocus was a leading UK camera rental & sales company until '91. I earned my first £50 cleaning equipment from ‘Terrahawks’ in ’83, and for other legendary productions, like ‘Aliens’.

 

Alongside Secondary and 6th Form education, I mentored in business management, broadcast and film equipment from 1988, under MD Tony Covell and his team, with full access to his team and all aspects of the business.
