Prosper Light on Building OGWA Studios From Nothing, and Why Year Two Means Playing a Different Game

Twelve months, four short films, a documentary and 47 brand partnerships later, he tells PINCHED what the first year actually cost him, why the studio's new publishing arm almost wasn't a book, and what he needs year two to prove.
