Hannah Ewen & Harv Frost

Hannah Ewen is currently a Feature Editor at VICE, and writes about youth culture, mental health, music and film for publications that include the Guardian and the Telegraph. She has also written ‘Fangirl’, a book about the extremities of young teenage girls when it comes to supporting an artist- such as camping outside music concerts. From the Beatles to 1Direction, we constantly see girls obsessing over older men; however, Hannah views this as a celebration- rather than something to be ashamed of. It allows girls to go on a “collective journey of self-definition”, and captures the joy and camaraderie of young women. It reflects the zeitgeist, as nowadays music is a tool to openly discuss your sexuality and mental health.

Harv Frost is a Trans filmmaker and creative that has worked with The Last Dinner Party on their most recent music videos and their 2024 short film. She used to make short music videos for £20 on the local talent, then moving on to be a runner for music videos. Soon she became a PA for a producer on shiny music videos, observing the pros and super star directors. Harv’s concepts are often inspired by nerd culture (sci-fi, comics, and video games). She hopes to redefine genres and push boundaries, being queer and vibrant in a progressing world.
