Post-script...

>> I rarely put my films up on the internet because I don ’t think they work on computer screens and I want you to watch them in public with your mates

>> I have several unpublished books of poetry that I am just as proud of as my published stuff. I just hope people get to read them some day

>> I call my films ‘lo-fi ’ because that ’s exactly what they are – grainy, smudgy and imperfect, they’re the complete opposite of a pristine HD movie

I am more than just a bit obsessive about films and books – my loves/influences are...
