This week sees us return to the Shooting People Film of the Month winners’ circle and an interview with BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Richard Smith, who stepped away from the keyboard to direct Mono, his self-penned story of a couple separated, yet connected by the wall that divides them.

I loved this charming tale about the awkward everyday experience of meeting someone new. So much is communicated through looks and smiles and music. In the space of just a few minutes I was totally drawn into the lives of these two lonely people and yearned to see them meet. This is very clever story-telling and a real treat to watch.
