‘It's beautifully directed - well done to you all!”
Ricci-Lee Berry – Screen South

I wasn't going to direct any more shorts, but then this little gem written by Colin Metcalfe came along and I couldn't resist. It was part of the Screen South Digital Shorts 2008 Scheme, shot over a weekend in May using a Sony XDCAM EX1 on a budget of just £3,000. Unfortunately it didn't get into many festivals despite it's popularity with audiences.
