From Bradley Porter:
We’re filming in Cadwell Park Race Track from the 7th-11th May and are looking for people to work with our Production/Assistant Director and Location Departments in helping marshall the track and keep everything ticking over slowly.
“A Boatload of Wild Irishmen” won a ‘Special Jury Award’ in the annual BUFVC Learning on Screen Awards 2012:
The film was written by Brian Winston and edited by Chris Hainstock. It explores the moral complexities of controversial American documentary-maker Robert Flaherty, the man credited with being the father of the modern documentary after he produced and directed Nanook of the North in 1922.
“You have to have a lot of determination. If this is the industry you want to be in, then don’t give up. It may take years, but if you’re passionate, it’ll show through.”
After handing in my final assignment in 2010, I only stayed at Lincoln for another month. I was tempted to stay longer of course and make use of the University’s equipment and try to delay the realisation that my student life was over, but I was pretty confident that I was going to get a job in London, or at least an internship quite quickly. How hard can that be, I thought. After an intense final year to complete a 50 minute television drama on a student budget, I thought I was prepared for anything. Looking back now, I was unbelievably naïve.
