Come Here Often - A Retrospective Pt 5

Filmonik Reception

Oh my fucking god!

That’s all… Nahh, just pulling your leg.

So if you have been keeping up I made a film, its called ‘Come Here Often’ and this very night (12th Feb 2012) it got screened… OMFG!

Reel it in Andy.

So, I start the night with broken trousers. A normal occurrence for me as all my trousers are broken in one way or another. I quickly donned the least broken pair that just so happen to be 40 sizes too small and show the outline of my… lets leave that thought there.

I then show up to the venue. I’m shitting my tiny breeches! However, I spot some friends from uni, Danny and Fran, who ease some of the shitty breeches-ness of the situation and then suddenly a swarm of people from uni show up. This part made my night as all through my uni experience I have felt like I’m separate from all of that. It’s these moments that make me feel apart of the CFV collective.

Slowly films go up. Shown on the big screen. Quickly I start to feel out of my depth. My friends from Unis film is show, its good. Other peoples films are shown, they are amazing. I start to second guess the decision.

SUDDENLY

My film is called, I grab my trusty vlogging camera for support and march up filming my self. I blurt out the lines I have been going through in my head with added awkward moments, regretting getting it on camera in one hand, and loving it in the other. I say my piece and depart the stage.

The film is shown. And the room gets filled with peoples laughter. I’m on top of the fucking world, people like it. They laugh where I hoped they wood and one girl even laughed where I didn’t.

Once the film is done I hear some one say “That was really good”… I get a film maker hard on!

To sum up the experience, AMAZING! Would I suggest film makers to do this type of thing

HELL YES!!
