Talking Pictures

"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."
