Here at DN we’re big fans of films that avoid spoon feeding an audience needless back story, but instead parachute you into the current narrative crisis and credit you with the intelligence to make sense of your new surroundings. The short drama Jade, is such a film and director Daniel Elliott joins us to discuss how a simple story can be brought to screen in a compelling way.

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle
