HD Heaven on Earth
On a recent trip to London, I decided to take a trip to one of my favourite cinematic haunts and visit the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square, to see Alastair Fothergill’s documentary, Earth.
Filmstock #8
As a Lutonian and a devoted film fanatic, I rarely get excited about the choice of films I get to view in my hometown. However, once a year I get 11 days to get truly excited about, the Filmstock festival. For those of you that don’t know what Filmstock is…shame on you!
After all this, won’t you give me a smile?
As part of the warm up for the Filmstock Film Festival (which starts today - Thursday 1st November), its originators Neil Fox and Justin Doherty have been running a series of screenings and events under the name of Filmelab. It was at one of these events on a recent Friday night, I had the pleasure [...]
DN LFF07: The English Surgeon - Geoffrey Smith
Amidst the two weeks of screenings and events that was The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival sat the calm oasis of the filmmakers’ breakfasts, which along with being a perfect opportunity to load up on coffee and croissants for the day, meant that I got to speak to some of the directors with their [...]

For a low/no budget film-maker this dream would usually stay in the realms of fantasy, however, now due to the ever giving Moby, it can become reality.
1st Birthday Musings
I know it’s hard to believe, but Directors Notes has now celebrated its first birthday and to commemorate this milestone, I’ve actually decided to write something (something I’ve been promising to do for a while now)!
It seems like only yesterday MarBelle was giving birth to this little baby web venture and having sleepless nights as [...]
An Excess of Films and Music…
…is exactly how I’d describe the recent bank holiday weekend, but as I spent the majority of it with my face stuck to my D80, the amount of pictures that feature my steady decline of sleep and sobriety as the Reading Festival progressed are minimal. If you saw me for more than 5 seconds, chances [...]
Kitchen Diaries
It’s not often (or ever really) that we post videos which don’t come with an interview from the director, but redazril stumbled across this video in his travels on the dailymotion site and boy is it worth a mention. Proving that even the most rudamentary of video can be compelling if the idea - and [...]
