Ron Peck, British filmmaker, Interview for One+One - Part 1

Indeed, it is well known that Ron Peck is one of (Knees Up) Mother Earth's finest filmmakers and one with much to say, both on and off - thank you, OnePlusOne - screen.

@anadenanthera I have to dissagree. I have viewed Ron's more recent work (Cross Channel), and as a filmmaker, I was shocked to see his completed lack of filmmaking etiquette, knowledge and skill. - Poor composition, no understanding story story telling, within a 'film' structure. Painfully long shots that should be a fraction of the length, or cut out. Narration switching form 1st person, to 3rd person. I admit, his has a way with words. He would be better at writing poems... not making films.

@cheesechase I've seen many similar comments about Antonioni's The Passenger on imdb. Well, seems like Ron Peck is in good company. The MTV generation may disagree )

@nonattachmentmetta Similar comments don't in any way qualify as a comparative measure of accomplishment. To lump Antonioni in the same company, is just silly. If Jack Nicholson would so much as place a beverage on the dvd case of Cross Channel, I would happily eat my own words.
