Visiting Speaker - James Wall|PPP3

Today I've attended a talk by James Wall - filmmaker and past gradute of Leeds College of Art. He talked mostly about the process of making The Truth About Romance, his first feature film that has almost milion views on YouTube. Film was made with almost zero budget and home made equipment (like track and dolly), shot in two weeks by extremly small crew and it took a year for James to do post production. His story was very inspirational and interesting. He also talked about the life as a freelancer and daily commutes to Manchester (as Leeds doesn't have many work opportunities). Similarly to many other people, he said that networking is very important and helpful with getting jobs, which is something I'm going to work a lot more in upcoming months.
