Interview with Long Distance Information's Douglas Hart

From his early career as the founding member of Scottish band The Jesus and Mary Chain, Douglas Hart has become a respected music video director for acts such as The Charlatans, The Libertines and Paul Weller.

I spoke to Douglas at the 2011 Encounters Short Film Festival about his debut short film, Long Distance Information, starring Peter Mullan, Caroline Paterson and Alan Tripney.

We discussed how he came to write and direct the film, the issues surrounding funding and the question of whether short films are merely a jumping off point for feature films.

You can also check out my first interview with animater Jessica Ashman and there'll be more interviews from Encounters in the next few weeks. Please note that there is some strong language in this podcast.
