Described as “A very British Ghostbusters”, Nick Whitfield’s debut feature Skeletons has been gathering mounting praise from critics and audiences alike and also picked up the Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature at this year’s Edinburgh film festival. I’m pleased to have Nick on the show to discuss transferring his parallel world from shorts to a feature.

You can’t put on screen anything that you don’t believe. That is always the number one rule. If you don’t buy it, then it’s got no business being on the screen.
