SheffDocFest minus one and counting

The edit!

The night before Sheffield Doc/Fest I am doing what most directors I know are also doing. Staying up, way past my bedtime to finish cutting a trailer on my new project, to take and show to willing ears and eyes. The aim is, as always to get projects off the ground, financed, commisioned, seen, distributed, you know the small stuff of film-making!

I’ll be keeping an adhoc photo diary of my festival experience here through the week, armed only with an iPhone and unsuitable shoes.

• Who’s who and who are you?
• Stitch, pitch and the a to z of Britdoc
• So near, yet so far
• Meet, meet not quite meetmarket
• Fly on the wall? I don’t want to fade into the background
