The story of British conflict photographer Jason P. Howe taking on the British MOD and the publics right to know…
“It has recently occurred to me that it is now so long since I lost the plot... that I'm not even sure I remember what the plot was anymore.”
Jason P. Howe
What is the first thing you think of when the guy behind you gets his legs blown off?
What time is it when it hits ‘bomb o’clock’?
How do you fall for a woman, who then reveals herself as an assassin?
A Good Day to Die, Hoka Hey is a narrative feature 6 years in the making, documenting the life story and extraordinary adventures of British conflict photographer, Jason P. Howe.
Jason survived 12 years on the frontline of four wars,capturing images of humanity at war, its suffering, and cultures in disarray. This is not a film about war. This is a story about a man who chose a life of perpetual peril in pursuit of the perfect image, and what it takes to get those images published for the world to see.
An insight on how passion led to the downward spiral of disillusionment in this crazy tale of survival and change. Jason went down the rabbit hole, and we don’t know if he has fully come back out.
The film was released in select UK cinemas and available on Amazon and iTunes from 16 June and on DVD 17 July 2017. Available on-demand here at www.watch.hokaheymovie.com excluding Greece, UK & Australia.

Six shores sharing one ocean, one sky, and one language of survival and music.
Laya Project is a musical and visual journey documenting folk music recorded and filmed on location in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Maldives, India and Myanmar. Some of these performances are rare, and documented for the first time. The musicians are primarily from coastal communities affected by the Tsunami of December 26th, 2004. For the international team of musicians, sound engineers and camera men who came together for this unique production, Laya Project is a celebration of life, and is dedicated to the survivors. Crossing boundaries of genre while still preserving the music of the people, Laya Projects' essence is artistic purity and simplicity, from a nonjudgmental point of view.
