@mrjamesob Loved your discussion on addiction this am. Here is a short film about Bill Wilson's (co-founder of AA) final battle with his demons https://t.co/JWqwl3Gwfg

Filming a three scene showreel today for local actors with my (nearly new) Black Magic camera. Interesting dressing and lighting three sets in 4 hours, directing actors along with filming them. More to come....
