Films Screened in May 2013
May 15, 2013 1 Comment
I say it every month but wow, what a night, this was literally the busiest night we’ve ever had; people sitting cross legged on the floor, the stairs filled and even people perched at the door and out into the hallway – I was told next time to bring a megaphone so that they could hear me out there. Bloody hell.
I gushed on the night that I do these events for the love of short film and that I couldn’t do it with out all the people who turn up and make it what it is… and I meant it, I really really appreciate it.
We had a slim-line event this month and I think that it worked wonderfully, the last two had been a little over long with a break in the middle but this one just flowed better and there was a lot of feedback saying so. You can consider that noted and I’ll aim for this kind of length going forward.
On the night we had six films and three Q&As. Tom Chick, who unfortunately couldn’t make it, delivered what can only be described as the most eccentric video introduction to a film that anyone has ever seen – it’s so good in fact, I just have to share it with you.

Filmmaker Interview #50 – Catriona MacInnes
May 11, 2013 Leave a comment
It’s nice to have another interview up on the site. It’s been a wee while, I love the podcasts but it all started off with these written interviews so it feels a bit old school. I have to start by apologising to my interviewee here. I’ve had this interview for a while and am only now getting it online. However, it’s a cracker and I’m very pleased to have it.
Catriona Macinnes is a Scottish filmmaker whose first ever film was selected for the Venice Film Festival, yep, her first film. How good is that. Below Catriona going into what inspires her and what she’s currently working on. It’s a fascinating read and I hope you enjoy it.
You can find out more about Catriona’s work over on her site. Read more of this post
