That's such a great shot...NIGEL: My film making had started off simply enough, an elegant two-hander. That had been followed by the inevitable costume drama with a cast of thousands. Next year it was a witty social comedy, then a biting satire looking at a vexatious contemporary issue. You see, by now my desire for recognition and public exposure was constant and every year I made a new film in an attempt to screen in the annual competition. My name is Nigel Dempster, and I'm a Crapfest-O-Holic... |

Notes on the Film
I'd entered Tropfest a few times, but had never been screened. The idea of making a film which demonstrated my feelings about this was too tempting to refuse.
We shot the film in a local theatre. Keean Murrell Snape used a Canon XL-2 and later edited at Relativity Studios.
We'd both wanted to do something in black and white and I also wanted to play a Woody Allen-type character.
