Life in Film were an indie rock band based in the United Kingdom. Originated in Hackney, East London, Life in Film consisted of members Samuel Fry (lead vocals, guitar), Edward Ibbotson (vocals, guitar), Dominic Sennett (vocals, bass), and Micky Osment (vocals, drums).[2]
The English quartet formed when lead vocalist Samuel Fry returned to London after studying at Bournemouth, reuniting with old school friend, Edward Ibbotson. Soon after, Sennett and Osment, both of whom Fry had met at Bournemouth University, moved to London as well in order to establish a proper beginning for their band.
The band was sought out by Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer of Burberry, after they sent a video of their performance of their song, "Carla," to Dave Tree's "Watch, Listen, Tell" YouTube channel. Bailey had asked Fry to contribute to the Autumn/Winter campaign with some photo shoots. The relationship developed further after the band played "Alleyway" for Burberry's YouTube channel; the song would become "selected as the first track to front the Burberry Acoustic initiative," Bailey explained.[3] The band would later perform their song "The Idiot" for the opening of Vogue's Fashion Night Out on 9 September 2010.[4]
