He is one of the most intelligent, generous and thoughtful people I have ever worked with and I wanted to make sure he was on set for the shoot so I cast him in it. I originally was going to act in it with him but we only had two days to shoot it so I pulled out last minute. Beyond his writing, his acting was fantastic and really authentic. I love working with non-actors and Graeme did not disappoint, it was strange for both of us being back in a fabricated version of an environment we used to know so well. His instincts from a filmmaking standpoint were also really stellar, every idea he had during the shoot turned out to be the best parts of the short film.“ READ OUR FULL INTERVIEW WITH JAMES - // Credits // Director - James Price Writer - Graeme Armstrong Producer -Lewis Wardrop Cast: Youngster - Kyle GordonKey Good C**t - Conor McCarrom Gaff King - Graeme Armstrong Gaff Witch 1 - Jodie McCallum Gaff Queen - Ashley Sutherland Gaff Philosopher - Tosh McCrudden Gaff Witch 2 - Holly Jack Bad Boy - Ben Nugent ABOUT DIRECTORS NOTES Since 2006 Directors Notes has curated the world’s best independent films alongside exclusive daily deep dive interviews which provide behind the scenes insights into the inspirations and production stories of the most talented filmmakers on the planet.
