New Masters Blog
Some of you will know that I embarked this year on a Masters degree in Documentary Film in International Development. The course is through De Montfort University in the UK.
To help gather information on the next phase of the project I have set up a new blog for the project and at the moment I am focusing on the work produced by UNTV, where I worked as a documentary cameraman during the war in the former Yugoslavia in 1994/5.
Here’s one of the snaps from those days of me cozying up to a Serbian checkpoint guard called Snjezana, with whom we have made a little film as part of UNTV’s Video Letters series. Needless to say Snjezana was very different to most of the checkpoint guards we came across - most were large blokes with guns on a power trip, very often drunk and always on the scrounge for cigarettes. Read more about that story here.

Film on BBC1
23/11/11 14:30 Filed in:Film
Our new film for BBC Inside Out is scheduled for transmission on Monday 28th November on BBC1 at 1930hrs.
For all those that miss the transmission time (or for those of you that live outside the South West), you will be able to watch the film on the BBC iPlayer.
The film follows 71 year old mountaineer and double amputee Norman Croucher from Devon. Not content with having scaled some of the world’s biggest peaks, including Cho Oyo in Tibet at over 8000m on his two tin legs, Croucher has decided to learn to paraglide.
Shot on location in the Lake District in Cumbria and in Dorset and Devon, the film follows Norman on his journey. But at 71 is this a challenge too far for the intrepid adventurer?
