© 2008 Directors Notes. 
For those of you who can remember one of my only attempts at podcasting back in November last year (DN064), will be familiar with director Craig Rook and his short documentary What A Freegan Waste. Craig’s insightful documentary exploring the lifestyle of Freeganism, proved not only very popular with everyone you guys (It’s actually the [...]
It’s my turn to step up to bat over at Short of Week and this time round I got to enthuse about the Supinfocom produced animation En Tus Brazos.
Have a read and watch.
I’m a few days late with the news on this one, but frankly if you’ve been waiting on me for updates then more fool you as you should already be subscribed to one of their feeds!
Anyway, Ryan and Zach are back, (sorry for the rhyme!) with what has to be the most kick arse episode [...]
As anyone will know who reads my posts on Directors Notes, I’m a big supporter of my local Film Festival, Filmstock and unashamedly try to promote it whenever I can. It’s with that in mind, I’m posting to all our filmmaking readers out there, to let them know that Filmstock is now accepting submissions for [...]

I’m gonna be going along, but if you plan to join in the fun make sure [...]
The Raindance Film Festival will be moving into its 16th year from the 1st - 12th October, but before it throws open the screening doors, is looking for your shorts and features of all genres from anywhere in the world. The festival takes place in London’s West End and last year’s Jury Prize Winners were [...]
You’d think that running Directors Notes would mean I spend all my time at screenings and hobnobbing with directors, but the sad reality is that most of my filmmaker contact is via Skype, email and screeners, partially because they live in different countries to me, but more often than should be the case laziness and [...]
So I was giving my WordPress Dashboard a finally look before bed - don’t pretend you don’t do exactly the same thing - and noticed an incoming link from Podfinder UK for a film and TV podcast special episode which included our own humble Directors Notes! I’m not sure where in the UK host Josephine [...]
