I should imagine there wasn't a lot of money to spend on the actors, am I right?
That's why a lot of friends are in it. They're very good actors, playing tiny little roles, but yes, there's not much money in short films.
Would you like to make another or bigger movie?
Yeah, I'd love to. I've got an idea for a feature film, but when you make a short film you haven't got anybody worried about how much it cost because it didn't cost anything. Nobody's looking to make a profit from it, nobody's saying you've got to have this American film star in it. So all that made life easier. If I wanted to do a feature film I'd have to have complete control over the casting and not have any Americans in it. And make it for about sixpence.
Where's it showing?
It's going out on the arthouse circuit with a film called "Chuck and Buck", which is an American movie.
You can probably dine out on it for years.
I hope so. The thing about film as opposed to a live performance is that with film, you do the best you can with it and then it goes off on its own and you can't look after it anymore.
