Post Script:
In 1981 Chris James was screening his latest independent film "After Beardsley" at the Cambridge Animation Festival at the same time as I was my film "Still Life". We got to know each other quite well around this period because our films were screened at quite a number of festivals and events together. Also I had shot a small section of his film. I liked his approach to directing because he was open minded about trying things out, an auteur filmmaker and his work was subtle. RKW
