Talking Pictures is a vibrant collection of interviews with the cream of new talent emerging in the British film industry today. It's a vivid snapshot and informal handbook of the trials and tribulations--and joys--of independent filmmaking: from the scriptwriting and financing to shooting, editing, marketing, and distribution.
Interviewees include Eric Fellner, executive producer of Four Weddings and a Funeral; Andrew Macdonald, producer of Trainspotting and The Beach; Gary Sinyor, co-director of Leon the Pig Farmer; Brianne Perkins of the Children's Film Unit; Ray Brady, director of the highly controversial Boy Meets Girl; and A. Hans Scheirl, director, producer, and actor of seven parts in the 'low to no budget' Dandy Dust.
