I’m sitting at a bar in Vancouver’s international airport waiting for the call to board my plane back to the UK. I’ve just spent three and a half weeks in LA and Vancouver, showing Critical Mass at the Newport Beach Film Festival (where, in case you missed the massive laurel we immediately stuck on our [...]
During my first week at the Mill Valley Film Festival, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Danielle Venton for KRCB. We sat on a bench at the main junction in the centre of town and chatted for half an hour about the film, population and environmental issues. Danielle was smart, funny, well-prepared and [...]
I wrote this post at the airport while waiting for my plane: One of the comments on our Indiegogo campaign page mentioned the need for good music; it was a passing mention, but it got me thinking about a song I remember and still enjoy: Istället för musik, Förvirring by Bob Hund. The translation of the [...]
What moviemaker’s blog would be complete without at least one post reading a meaning no-one else sees into some movie?

Andrew ‘Wilf’ Wilford Yesterday, we began our 45 day Indiegogo campaign to raise at least $30,000 with which to clear the archive rights for footage we use in the film. We are so far up to $485 in contributions and this is only the first 24 hours. $250 of that was a legacy contribution on [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Critical Mass is a finished film, fully formed and ready to meet the world. We have just launched an Indiegogo campaign in order to raise the money we need to clear archive rights so that we can distribute the film. We’ve got great perks available, including posters, DVDs and [...]
First of all, let me apologise for the long gap in writing, and for the lack of new comments being approved. Both of these have reasons: 1. I have been flat out trying to finish the film (which is looking good) and my writing/thinking time has been minimal. 2. I have not approved any new [...]
Dear Brothers and Sisters, What makes this movement so special and, from my perspective, so poignant, is that there are no enemies here. Some of you will have been beaten or arrested by the police. Non-protesters may have had personal property damaged during the course of these events. The police may have had abuse or [...]
I’ve been watching as the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City gains momentum. Worldwide, similar movements centred on similar flash points of discontent have been bubbling up. I attended the first day of the Occupy London protest, and I filmed some footage I have compiled into a short film which is embedded below [...]
