Every writer has experience the since of panic that assails him or her when faced with a blank page or screen how will I fill this space or will I succumb to writers block. So it was with me last Tuesday when I started to shoot a film, a documentary on disabled people at work. I had not directed a film in over 10 years not since I was a postgraduate student doing my MA in film studies.
Would I get it right, would it flow smoothly? How much of shoot we had put in the can would be usable. You can imagine how I felt when viewing the first day’s shoot I could estimate that out of the 30 minutes of shoot in the can there was at least 15 to 20 minutes of good useable material
