Having met & talked with the following influential & inspirational film cinema craftsmen who were kind to allow for a photo and autograph to be taken, these meetings left an indelible impression on me about cinema as a serious artform and that craftsmanship and experience is helpful from those involved on that front alone. Also strive to get the best from the productions, sending them compelted work wherever there may be an opportunity to get some recognition for all participants. Currently have got a small slot on the BBC big screen of the film 'Peace Portraits'. Production thought out, near enough accurate to the original concept. Actors need bring only their talents & skills.
Getting to meet film directors and getting various printed work autographed.
The Brits: Richard Attenborough, Jack Cardiff, Freddie Francis, Ken Loach, Mike Figgis, Mike Hodges, Alex Cox, Peter Yates, John Glen, Guy Hamilton, The Yanks: Ray Harryhausen. The 'Italians': Bernardo Bertolucci.
Primary influences/inspiration: S. Ray, Scorsese, Leone, De Palma, M. Mann, Kubrick. Secondary influence/inspiration: J. Sturges, B.G. Hutton, R. Fleischer, Lumet, Hill, Oz, Grosbard, Mackendrick, H.J. Clouzot.
