The world's a stage

Last night to the Bartok bar in Chalk Farm Road in Camden, to watch some short films. Apparently this is a common monthly event and ranges from home made films, to those just starting out in the business, to BAFTA winners. An interesting array of talent was on show, from comedy to animation to gritty drama in the Garry Oldman, Nil by Mouth mould.

Spoke to one or two of the actors in the films shown. Would like to have picked their brains about the trade and especially the things they look out for. Politics, as everyone knows, is film for ugly people and the most accomplished can turn it on, whether they feel like it or not (e.g. Mr Tony and Bill Clinton).

Beyond my own little world, I'm not hooked on the short film thing - and so I've signed up for information when it come along. Worth going along to? I think so.
