More Info

Leaf Blower was filmed in a neighbour's back garden in the summer of 2025. It took two attempts to film it after footage from the first shoot came back soft (despite having a dedicated focus puller). Only the chicken shots survived. It explores gardeners' love for their leaf blowers, which have always seemed completely pointless to me.

As such, it is another look at the everyday frustrations of middle-class existence, and follows on from similar sketches like Poo Bag and Penalty Notice.
