Indie film nights are coming
This Season has been a great introduction to our autumn events at the Baird Film and TV Initiative. Ornette Spencely held an evening showing his two shorts and discussed his new projects, the group had a really interesting evening of debate about his style of work and how he came to the attention of the commercials industry. Richard Heslop also showed two shorts that helped to shape his career in the direction of experimental features, commercials and promos. Our final Director in this season is Ben Johns who we are warmly welcoming to Hastings on Tuesday the 25th of November.
