Congratulations Elspeth, I was not aware that you had made a movie!!! I'm sooooooo impressed. How was that experience? How long did it take you to complete? I haven't seen it but what does it feel like to sit and watch a movie that you have created? Was it difficult to direct the actors?? Are you planning to continue? Just wonderful!
I'll answer these in a post
