Director John Maclean shares the story behind his bold new feature Tornado - a one-day, genre-blending adventure set in 1790 and led by rising star Koki.
In this exclusive ScreenUK interview, Maclean discusses casting the film’s lead, working with long-time collaborators, and why he leans into old-school filmmaking techniques like deep focus and static camera.
He also shares insights into what it takes to pull together a generous cast, how Tornado was developed with support from the BFI, and the creative spark that led to this wild and original story.
