ANINTERVIEWWITH
TREVORFORREST
hen your formative childhood memories are of Wlife on the West Atlantic Island of Grand Bahama,
you might expect everything else to be a disappointment, but Trevor Forrest doesn’t see it thatway. MovingfromManchestertolivethis
Caribbean idyll until the start of his teenage years, he still recalls the excitement with which trips home were met.
“We’d come back for a holiday once every two years,” he explains, “generally around my birthday in November so obviously it was grey skies and rain. But it was the most fun I ever had as a kid, going to Manchester and Norfolk, running around in the snow and rain. It was so different to a place that was always sunny. Its something I have always been excited by, the way extreme and different weather and environment effect people ”
Interesting and, as it turns out, quite useful in the career path he has chosen for himself. Having got his first lighting job in 2003, Forrest has wasted no time in broadening his experience shooting commercials and five features, the latest of which is entitled Huge.
