Hi Matt, and Chris too. Matt, you made your own “Road Dreams” film if I remember right. On Super 8 too. You were rather amazed at the processing costs……
Sorry Elliot, but we were all in a bit of a thrall to your concept at the time. All the best with your project.

Neil.

Yes I do – and I spoke to him on Wednesday for the first time in a while!!!
I’m guessing you’re the Matt who escaped Kingston for the Welsh hills. I just had a quick look at your Haiku on blogger, really beautiful.
I’ll let Neil know.
For anyone else who’s wondering about this thread getting highjacked Matt and I have never met but know of each other through a mutual friend from about 15 years ago. I guess either the internet is made up of a really small group of pepole who just post a lot or Elliott’s films have a knack for drawing like minded people together.

Chris, at the risk of pushing my luck, do you know Neil MacAlpine?

I didn’t even know there was a Word blog. Sounds like another place on the web for me to lurk about instead of getting on with whatever else I should be doing!!!
As for the Llanyrafon connection – no it’s not me, I live just outside Oxford.

Further to Chris’s comment above, I have just made a posting on The Word blog directing people here.

And Chris, do you live in Llanyrafon?

Elliott
I wondered whether, amonst the long list of technical jobs to finish, you’ve considered any media promotion for what you are doing?
There’s a reasonable number of us that have found our way to the website over the last few months and I’m sure we are all involved in letting like-minded friends know about your films but I’ve no doubt there is a huge potential audience out there who would really enjoy your work, either for the first time or as a link back to those original Channel 4 showings.
The Word and Uncut are both magazines that I would expect to be interested in what you are doing along withy the Arts review of The Guardian and Independent and probably Sight and Sound.
Any plans?
Chris
