Movie Makers – Interview with the Artistic Director of the Colchester Independent Short Film Festival
By Rodney Appleyard
On Monday 11 March, from 6pm, the Movie Makers show will feature an interview with the actor Steve Martin talking about a new documentary all about his life.
The documentary itself also includes views by Jerry Seinfeld, Tina Fey and Diane Keaton. We also feature interviews from the new movie Monkey Man by Dev Patel.Â
This movie stars Dev Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who makes an average living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.
After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
We also recently featured an interview with the Artistic Director for the festival, Nick Pelas, who talked about the inspiring films we can look forward to seeing at the Colchester Independent Film Festival, from North East Essex, the UK and the rest of the world.
Find out how you can get tickets for the festival, and what is involved.
