Yes they are great films all round, have you tried messageing him on Vimeo? PS Your new thumbnail taken from the film "Sean" gives you an different image!

To take up on Jameela's point: "So for us, (as film-makers) do we consider ourselves camera operators looking for a subject to make? ...or story tellers looking for a way to visually express our story? For many of us the answer is perhaps both at the same time." The one who thinks they are...

Was it Oscar Wilde who said the worst thing you can do is bore your audience!

I sometimes find the more you think about things the worse the film gets! Concluding that sometimes its good to trust ones intuition.
