This was a valuable experience but mostly I am working as a DP now in various forms. Along with two colleagues I have taken the plunge to make our first feature as a 'low-no'. Your advice in this area would in invaluable. A second specific question I have is I would like to approach Raymond Waring for the lead role. Firstly I would need to show my colleagues more of his work; which can of course be seen in ‘Yes’. I do have his agents details but I am concerned that as we are unlikely to be able to pay him I would like to approach him directly first. Hopefully gaining his interest on the merit of the film alone. Any help here would be great. peter@carbonark.com

I wish you perseverance, stamina, and even some joy mixed in ! Go for it.
