Directed by: Daniel Howard-Baker
Witness the rise and fall of The Warehouse, a rave venue from Plymouth and times gone by now reduced to a
derelict shell. We explore its history, its people and the future. An amateur filmmaker-explorer finds the building in an
empty derelict state, long after the prosperous life and energy it endured through the 90s. Through a combination of
archives and stories of people who lived there, the film explores through the medium of analogue what once was and
how even a now silent derelict shell can become the centre of the universe.
Daniel is a film editor and archivist by day and an award-winning writer / director by night. After graduating from the University of Westminster in 2021, he has since worked on shorts, features, documentaries and fiction that have gone onto festival and award recognition in national and international screenings. His directorial work, focusing on surreal and experimental storytelling has gone onto awards such as at the Nottingham Film Fest, Liverpool Indie Awards and Big Fringe Film Fest.
He returns to his hometown of Plymouth to explore the storytelling potential in the region, working as a film editor, photographer and archivist for local creative collaborators and communities, such as for Plymouth University, Everyman Cinema, Theatre Royal Plymouth, Novel Pictures, Neo Noire Studios and [EK!] Productions. Daniel looks to expand the horizon of storytelling and show the South West as an arena of cinema.
