Filmstock 9
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 [...]
SotW: I Love Sarah Jane
It’s MarBelle Short of the Week rotation time again and I feel I’ve outdone myself with the find that is I Love Sarah Jane - OK, El Vez actually found it and dropped me an email but I’m taking all the credit as usual! Now just got to convince director Spencer Susser to come on [...]
A Gift for Dickie
A Gift for Dickie is an ambitious and inspiring project, which aims to provide the legend that is Richard (Dickie) Attenborough with the funds needed to make the film of his dreams (What is the Film Project?).
Film Friends Forever Present VBS
In the on-going conspiracy to make me feel bad for never getting organised enough to arrange screenings outside of the annual Reading/Leeds thing, the Film Friends Forever folks are screening the best videos of Vice Magazine’s Spike Jonze helmed VBS.TV.
I’m gonna be going along, but if you plan to join in the fun make sure [...]

Podfinder UK Review
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 [...]
Peter Bunzl’s On The Upside
Back on DN043 Peter Bunzl joined us to discuss his dark, thought experiment animation Mind Games and wet our appetites with talk of his new topsy turvy short On The Upside, in which an elderly couple overcome quirks of gravity to maintain their relationship.
On The Upside is now finished and there’s a clip over at [...]

The West Side Episode 3
This time the wait was shorter but no less painful, so once again it’s strangely satisfying to switch to town crier mode and let you know that Ryan Bilsborrow-Koo and Zachary Lieberman - DN053 - have hit us up with the third instalment of The West Side. It’s exciting because it’s great!
