They'll find our DNA in 65 million years and make a film out of it. And post it on YouTube.

I give youtube another 3-5 years max. People are waaaay too fickle to keep that thing alive. There'll be a new, trendier one around in a while that will kill it.

We on the other hand have made it 10 years. Much smaller, less active group, but we're still doing our thing here. Like those nuts that make super8 films!

Do the generation who have never had to load a computer game by tape , find the shops all shut on a sunday and. Have never seen a now compilation in single digits....

Even care what film is ? In the sense of the old film vs digital debates , do they just take it that digital is the norm?

Isn't 80 pounds what most actresses in Hollywood weigh?

£80 for a movie??

Sure it can be done. I'm working on a year long project with a director friend where we make a movie a month. They may not be great but they aren't half bad and they more importantly allow us to try things for other films.

As a DoP I get to take risks in lighting and camera movement that I would feel uncomfortable doing on a paying gig.

Yes. £80 is fine for a 5 minute short that was shot in one location on one day.

Good Luck
