The Film Makers

Being a film maker in today's world presents a really tricky scenario. There is the traditional route of going to film school, learning on digital, shooting a couple of HD shorts to get into minor festivals before shooting a magnificent short film on 35mm as a calling card.

And then there is the Babarouge way of making films. Shoot off the hip, fluke and pray our way into festivals and then look agonisingly at the mountain there is to climb...

Quite clearly the sensible way of making films would be the former. But, as a bunch of Londoners, with not even a score to spare, traditional film making presents an impossible challenge.

Thank goodness for the internet - watch how the playing field gets levelled by us...wahaha!
