Moss & Freud

Drama Feature Trailer

Film Editor: Nick Carew

The newly released trailer offers a glimpse of the film’s quiet intensity and teases the charged dialogue and growing trust between Moss and Freud.  Set in London in 2002, the film follows Moss at the height of her fame as she agrees to sit for the notoriously private Lucian Freud. Over months of sittings in his studio, the encounter becomes far more than a portrait commission, evolving into a deep creative exchange that challenged both artist and muse.

With Mr Hugo’s bookwork bestie, Dewey, each episode invites young viewers inside the magical books where they’ll find a world of larger-than-life characters, incredible outfits, hilarious lip-syncing, and show-stopping songs.

Young Riders (season 6)
