Getting our Films Seen.
I have just been told that in last week's published viewing data my film 'It's an Alpaca!' achieved the joint highest rating for the week when it was shown on the Sky channel 280. Mind you, not quite 'Strictly Come Dancing', as the viewing figure was 13,000, but better than the local club in the church hall.

That's wonderful Michael, many congratulations. It's great that opportunities exist to get such large audiences for our films

Re: Getting our Films Seen.
I am an admirer of your work, Michael, so this is in no way sarcasm or any other derogatory 'ism but do you happen to know, or does anyone else, how many viewers watched to the end?

Ah Peter, yes that is the real question but I don't know if they can ascertain that. In fact I'm damned if I know how they count the audience. Perhaps with cable they might know but satellite or air, how do they do that? I would like to think that they got so hooked on the subject that they stuck it out but you are quite right to wonder!

Re: Getting our Films Seen.
As a matter of interest, Peter, what prompted your question about how many people watched Michael's film to the end?
Do people, perhaps, tend not to watch your own films to the end?
It was good to read your gracious reply, Michael.

Re: Getting our Films Seen.
What prompted my question?
Just that I read and hear of people who SEEM to be bragging at the number of hits their films have got and I know that when I look at some films on the net, which I do rarely, that at least some of them I do not consider watching for very long.
I realise that the net gives people a huge audience and I'm happy with that. Mine are seen by scores or a couple of hundred but I make them as a record of people's lives or work which, with luck, will outlive them.
