“For the social area Ridley made references to abstract pieces of art. The screens were depicting things such as nutritional information, so we played with abstractions of this data. We experimented a lot with overlaying simple data with layered abstract data forms. The overall intent was to create little moody animated textures, that the crew would be aware of but not necessarily reading from all the time.”

“FACELESS was produced under the rules of the ‘Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers’. The manifesto states, amongst other things, that additional cameras are not permitted at filming locations, as the omnipresent existing video surveillance (CCTV) is already in operation.”

“Samuel Spade’s jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were horizontal. The V motif was picked up again by thickish brows rising outward from twin creases above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down—from high flat temples—in a point on his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond Satan.”
