Notes from the Director
Hi folks. This project started back in the summer and I've had the idea rattling around in my head since 2023. A serious amount of work has been put into it and I think it's a very significant jump in quality from me and my work with 1988. And with that, I think the last thing I wanted to do was chuck it on YouTube. So that's not happening this time. Instead it'll be getting screenings at film festivals and eventually (if all goes to plan, a physical release). Make an occasion of it, make an effort to go and see it. I wish I could say more but then I'd be doing the film a disservice.
