Nathan Hannawin is a filmmaker from Camden, London. After working in hospitality, he bought his first camera in 2009 with the aim of capturing political photography, though this soon turned into filmmaking. Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain is his first feature documentary.
Paul Sng was born in Swiss Cottage, London, but moved to the south coast of England in 2009 and lives and works in Brighton. As both a writer and director, he is interested in telling the stories of those neglected or forgotten by mainstream media. He came up with the concept for Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain in November 2014. Ten months later it was in cinemas around the UK.
