I've actually signed up here before around three years ago, after I had just made a terrible terrible terribly horrendous short film using iPhones and two good mates.
A lot has happened since then I've learned a lot (although still learning!), been lucky enough to win two short film script call outs.
The latter short film Dropping Off Michael was in association with Sigma films JumpCut Summer Production Company, produced by Catriona MacInnes, Paddy Higson and directed by Zam Salim.
I recently got the mind blowing news that the film has been selected by the Glasgow Short Film Festival to be a part of their Scottish competition.
The whole experience has been overwhelming in the greatest possible way but there's no way any of it would have happened if it wasn't for seeing A Room For Romeo Brass while I was badly ill in my early teenage years. That film taught me the name Shane Meadows and made me realise that normal down to earth working class British people can not only be a part of the film industry but be the best, most refreshing and game changing part of it.
If anybody is in Glasgow or nearby on March 13th get your arse to the GFT for half 7 and buy a ticket to see my wee film Dropping Off Michael. My Da showed me The Last Detail at a really young age because I was obsessed with films that contained a lot of swear words, and the film has stuck with me throughout my life. Dropping Off Michael is in a sense my wee 16 minute Gleswegian love letter to The Last Detail (although nowhere near as perfect as that seminal masterpiece!) and instead of the Navy setting it's a story of a low scale Glasgow criminal and his nephew's last day of freedom.

Cheers for reading this ramble! This is mostly just a massive thank you to Shane, Vicky, Andrew, Thomas, Paddy, Michael, Stephen and everybody behind the scenes for continuing to inspire, create magic and make the dream of filmmaking something that's attainable rather than something that is only for people with money. As somebody who didn't go to college, university or even finish second year in Secondary School I'm here to say if you want to make films, you can make films and you will make films.
Anybody and everybody feel free to drop me a line,
Sincerely,
James Price
