  • Watched the full film, impressive stuff. Thanks for posting!

  • @DJGahann Thanks

  • So cool to have found this. I presented a film festival called Reel2Reel in Glasgow and this film won an award. I believe it was for best documentary. That may be wrong but i think best film was a film about a guy playing russian roulette with a gun. I was on the judging panel although not being an expert, just the presenter, my input was minimal but everyone was in love with this. Not one person on the panel disliked it.

  • Thanks for the comment. The whole film can be viewed from link at top right.

    Yes, it did indeed win that award for best documentary and also best overall film. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for voting for it. Hanging with Frank has also been chosen by Channel 4 for their website as an example of good filmmaking.

  • A very informative video thankyou.

  • Haha! Maamrouge checks my films out!

    Did notice you like criminology. The whole film is available to watch in link above right. I made this film 10 years ago and it's been broadcast a couple of times. Tried to recreate an archive feel to the documentary by filming it grainy and in black & white.

  • @gerrymoke Wanker.

  • @davidgrahamscott i thought a movie about a guy playing russian roulette with a six shooter won best overall. maybe that was best drama. i cant remember. You deserved it though.

  • Tears, vomit, excrement, rage, silence. All these things surround such a moment. The very moment which may have sparked this video's moment to begin with...the curse which haunts the bloodline...the end of a sadness...the beginning of new ones...the spreading of the disease of murder, lies, and human betrayals.

  • Dildo!

  • I guess there will always be those that deserve it.....but, remember Timothy Evans and Dereck Bentley?, ;a life sentence can be reprieved when the system fucks it up. There can be no reprieve in an execution.
