Back to School

By Michael Clifford on Sep 16, 10 04:29 PM in Film

September - back to school and time for a spot of reflection and forward planning.

As they say at American Vogue, September is our January.... So, here goes.

One year ago I read an Observer film magazine special on the British Film Industry. It was sobering (even before the demise of UKFC) but very good, especially the Jason Solomons article and the interview with Michael Winterbottom.

The latter article contained two major nuggets:
1. If you want to emulate Britains most prolific director then stop waiting (see my earlier blog 'the waiting is kiliing me')
and 2. Behind every successful director, there's a great producer.

As soon as I put the article down, I called my long time producing partner Natasha Carlish and arranged to meet for coffee. We sat down in Maison Maici and I pitched my vision of the future, with the two of us working more closely and hurtling towards glory.

She told me that she was in fact thinking of knocking the whole film making business on the head...

Oh... I smiled bravely, asked her to think about it, then went home to think of plan B. No plan B came.
