The City and Its People
Laurie Lee said of his adoptive London, "I have just bitten the hand that feeds me, and it tastes of soot." Cleaner air now, and we're told London has the most vibrant buzz of any city in the world; yet surely it must also make for the loneliest of homes. Astonishing: infinitely diverse: and you learn pretty fast to mind your own business.

A study for the first short film I made entirely on my own, "Day Out". It was later shown at the ICA, I think.
If you wonder why I love London's great Victorian cemeteries, the reasons are simple,. They offer ineffable quietitude and peace. They are the closest thing that London has to the countryside. They are once-great architecture in the grip of entropy, the encroachment of nature. They are, in the autumn, beautiful. And, with luck, they're where we're all heading - space permitting.
