London: 21 october 2009
flash alert! flash alert! flash alert!
day eight of the times bfi 53rd london film festival. almost caught up with my editing backlog dear viewer. there are three events to cover today. the weather held up nicely. the traditional red carpet runs along the front of the vue. i get a spot near the paps so the flashing of their strobes is unavoidable tough of course i try to avoid and work around it as much as possible. lots of tourists along the barriers as it is an irresistible draw for anyone walking into the square. the usual suspects take up a position at the west of the square where they can grab their prey as they exit their limos and before the fans, media and paps. i get asked dozens of times what is going on, who is coming, what film is this for. arriving early and queuing is not as stress free as you may imagine. still i do get to meet lots of folk who are always very nice.
first up is the scouting book for boys starring teen acting veteran thomas turgoose of this is england and other shane meadows fame. he plays david in this coming of age love story with a sting in the tail. thomas is very comfortable with all the attention and he is happy to sign for fans.
talent in attendance:
director tom harper
producer ivana mackinnon
screenwriter jack thorne
thomas turgoose
holly grainger
susan lynch
steven mackintosh
as usual, please let me know of omissions, errors and comments. thank you.
