While trawling MySpace for exciting local filmmakers (as you do), we stumbled across a fellow called James Chegwyn, who runs a YouTube channel called Addictive TV Films.
Based in Liskeard but currently studying at Plymouth College of Art and Design, James seems to have a winning way with the old stop-motion animation, though he also makes documentaries and short live-action flicks.
He and his chum Tom Mitchell are putting together a short documentary about film festivals and filmmakers in the West Country. If you wanna get involved, give D+CFilm a shout and we’ll pass your details on.
There’s also the small matter of Attention Focus, a 20-minute psychological thriller James is starting to work on. It’s inspired by the likes of Reservoir Dogs and Seven, and the one-sheet looks rather excellent (as you can see above).
It tells the story of a middle-aged detective (played by Mark Woodman) who has to investigate three homicides. Is he somehow involved in the murders? We’re guessing he probably is.
Anyway, this is probably our favourite piece from the Addictive TV Films channel. It’s called How To Make A Cuppa (Filmmaker Style).
Stay tuned to D+CFilm over the coming weeks to hear how James is getting on with Attention Focus.
