Runs In The Family (5min cut)

The Brief was to create a 5 min personal film.

Everyone in my immediate family likes to run and compete in national races. I am the only member of the family that does not. I have used this situation as a vehicle to analyse my position in the family and also the perception my family has on me, and to also investigate exactly why so many of us run.

Good filming Tom. I like the section tracking alongside the run. Especially like the swarthy, chubby bloke who listens to Enya while running (who does that?).

Still he does say he has an eclectic taste "Yeah I like heavy rock" (Buggles) "and the classics" (Pop goes Mantovani).

Good luck with the filming Tom, and with the running, Tone and family.
