Great video and very poignant. I remember seeing this on telly and I've always wanted to say thanks to the Director, so thanks to Ripple222 for creating this and thanks to phoben for posting.
I wrote and Directed this for the BBC. I haven't seen it for years!!!! We shot it in a few hours with available light. Great actors - Sam West and Peter Capaldi. There was another short for the BBC called I Hate Christams which I made a few years earlier with James Wilby and Alex Kingston as well - this was a sort of follow up.
Glad you liked it and great to see after all these years.
Hi - no seriously did. I can't believe it made it onto You Tube. I filmed it in a couple of hours as I really wanted to have available light. It was the first time I'd shot with Super 16 as I'd done everything before on 35mm. It was pretty much the last thing I shot on Super 16 as well. Glad you like it. It was made about 15 years ago and I was in my early 20's.
This was the second.The first was called I hate Christmas and was done a few years earlier. It was broadcast on Christmas day on BBC1 lik,e this one was.
Peter Capaldiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

Delightful.
I am researching the Christmas Truce, and this video is hard to rationalize as part of that, but I am so glad I came upon this.
