Another Late Night

It will come as no surprise to hear that last night was another late night.  As usual it was spent in very interesting and highly amusing company (a big thank you goes to Scottish Screen for organising the dinner and having us along).

I sat next to veteran short film distributor Derry O'Brien from Network Ireland TV and EM Media's John Tobin who was involved in the fantastic Control by Anton Corbijn.  Needless to say they were highly illuminating and gave much food for thought.

In amongst the wonderful Auvergne feast, and a curious Irish take on Chinese food from the French (rice and potatoes was the only vegetarian option), was lots of talk of all things film.  I won't write too much introverted stuff just yet I don't think - suffice to say the experience of being at this amazing festival is one I will always remember and I hope that some of the wonderful films we've seen and people we've been lucky enough to meet and talk to rubs off on our work.  I will likely make reference to the sage words I've listened to here a lot over the coming months as our script is honed we edge towards production but for now I'm just going to let it all sink in.

It's our last day in Clermont-Ferrand so I'm going to go and make the most of it...
