I'm pleased that after all the hard work and challenges, the film will premiere at one of the world's leading film festivals

I'm looking forward to attending it and introducing my film.

It's a hard country in which to make films, and the films that do get out are tough little devils.

This film was more of a meeting with reality than one would ideally like, but I was really lucky. I was able to get a lot more extra footage and forge the movie into the shape that I wanted.

Every film is in a way a meeting with reality,

Have you read the screen international review which was never quoted when the others came out...there's a fairness issue here.
