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 film making: 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".
