Transcripts from interview:
“I think what influenced me the most to enter WildSOUND was the full appraisal of my what I had written. None of us know what we’ve written, we think we do but we don’t, no idea, we’re clueless. We’re just sunk in our own vision, and when I saw the full appraisal as part of the competition, I was sold. Then, I got my appraisal and it was possibly the best I have ever received, not because it was good or complimentary, but because they had obviously read it, and I mean completely, and they properly criticised it! So their comments were not only ‘left of field’, but they were an accurate observation and they actually improved the script, not matter how hard they were to swallow. WildSOUND was so worthwhile it was worth the price of entry just to get that feed back…..let alone winning, that was a real surprise. Winning didn’t even cross my mind, I needed to know what professional people thought of it. Me and the guy who I created the story with, Dave Powell, are over the moon. I hadn’t entered into any other contests, but since WildSOUND I have entered it into another four or five.”
