Things can be a bit random at my office sometimes. I was sitting at my desk about quarter to five when one of my bosses came in. the film festival is on in Edinburgh at the moment and i was asked to go to one of the local cinemas and meet our in-house photographer with our camera. except it turned out he couldn’t make it so yours truly was a papperazi for an hour.
I had no clue what the film was or what it was about, i just kept taking photos. I did recognise Billy Boyd, of Lord of the Rings fame. and one of the guys from the TV series Absolutely. Moray Hinter, who was ither Mr Don or Mr George. Anyway, after snapping away for a while thing quietened down a bit so I went inside to see the film, having been given a ticket.
It’s the first film I have seen in a long time where I wasn’t disappointed. Granted. I knew nothing about it going in, but it totally delivered. it was very believable and I really connected with the characters. There was emotion. but bot melodrama. The film is the story of Graeme Obree. who broke world records on a bike made partly from a washing machine. There is a lot more to it than that but I won’t say more because I think the less you know the story the better. if I have any good photos of the event I may post them
