Re: About Death (Sobre la Muerte)

Given what Ned and Dave have said, this is something that would never be allowed in any industry whatsoever - a single point of failure - a train-crash in waiting. But on the original topic. I agree and sign up to Howard's idea. But also a feel that some sort of declaration pertaining to budget ough...

Re: THE BIAFF WEEKEND

I thought it a fabulous weekend of super, enjoyable and varied films. It was also well run and the hosts did a great job with mastery of the zoom interface.

IAC Open screen nights are a great idea and I look forward to the one in May.

Re: BIAFF 2020 RESULTS

My haul of stars from this year's competition was really rather disappointing. And I wanted to spend this evening ranting about how the judges just don't get it. How they misunderstood what I was trying to do. And how the injustice of it all meant I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. But I can't. At...

Re: BIAFF 2020 RESULTS

That's a very positive outlook Howard. And one that deserves to see you succeed.

Re: BIAFF 2018 AT HARROGATE

Just watched The Pole Liner. Wonderful, such droll, understated humour is so rare in the amateur film world. Brilliant performance by the character, so convincing that you really start to wonder is this fact or fiction? Thank you for your kind words, Michael - and from such an esteemed film maker. ...

Re: BIAFF 2018 AT HARROGATE

Thanks all for your kind words about my film The Pole Liner, and Howard for being such a generous gentleman anyway. Actually, this won best film at Aber Shorts last Friday so now to work on the sequel for BIAFF 2019. Meanwhile, I have now cut Nuisance to 60secs and it's actually better for it. I'm t...

Re: BIAFF 2018 AT HARROGATE

I write as a first timer at BIAFF with a brand new login... We travelled six hours by train from Aberystwyth but the weekend was worth every sweaty sardine-jammed minute of the journey. We had a fantastic time. Saw some wonderfully, quirky, enlightening, entertaining and downright funny films. Thoug...
