Hi Shane, I was very fortunate to see the world premiere of Somers Town at the Berlinale today. The long-awaited highlight of the festival for me: beautifully warm, human and humourous film as you'd expect from Britain's greatest working director (excepting Michael Winner of course). A great shame I wasn't able to shake your hand and tell you this - congratulations on another winning film. Welcome, lucky you! Good to heard it was well received. It'd be great for this to get a theatrical release. |

I keep forgetting how long the final cut of Somers Town turned out to be. Just over 70 minutes wasn't it. Maybe a tad short for a theatrical release for something that isn't a cartoon!  But no matter, that is easily solved by putting a splendid short film on the front... which is what happened with the theatrical release of Smalltime! Sorted! ;D |

I still haven't seen it! |

Yes! ... or aye! Sadly though, Somers Town isn't connected to Warp Films in any way at all is it?  |

I would love to put Dog altogether 'together' with Somers. I'm not sure whether warp already have a release planned for Dog (they probably have now the Bafta is in the bag) but they would compliment each other nicely.
Shane and Paddy Grindhouse?

I think it could work...
Do you have any other festival's planned for Somers Town? I hear they've moved Edinburgh forward to June this year.
Dog Altogether was there last year, I think it went down really well.

Yea good point any more news on LeDonk anywhere? Lots of great stuff to look forward too this year with Somers Town, Ledonk and possibly even smalltime and a new OUATITM cut. Loads of Meadows movies sounds good to me.
