CITY RATS - Premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival

A little known film I cut at the beginning of the year with FCP has been selected for the 15th Slamdance Film Festival.

The film is called "City Rats" and is an ensemble piece set in London. If you are going up to Slamdance this year go and see it!

We have more projects in the pipeline and I hope they will be even bigger and better.
