Room Inside from Broadway Nottingham on Vimeo.


I wanted to embed the short film that I recently made (that I've posted on Vimeo) and I've just found out how to do that - see previous post.


On an earlier post on this blog (about the 'Speak Up Film Fund'):

I mentioned a local film-maker who I had contacted with a view to collaborating with on my Cowslip Sunday film project. That film-maker was Roger Knott-Fayle. Here is a link to his own website:

Roger combines his film-making with working as a hypnotherapist:

I haven't had an opportunity to experience Roger's hypnotherapy - but something tells me (subconsciously) that, in his efforts to hypnotise people and get them to change whatever aspect of their behaviour they are looking to change, Roger will succeed.


Anyway meeting Roger was one of those serendipitous occasions for me - because it turned out he had been involved in creating a film (in collaboration with Broadway Cinema) celebrating National Poetry Day last year.


I'm not sure by what route I came across that film but I actually watched it online last year (on National Poetry Day - October 6th) and I remember really liking it - and that for me it confirmed my conviction that poetry had a place in the arts outside of its traditional domain of inside the pages of a book.


You should be able to view the film above - and for your information Roger Knott-Fayle is the first person you see in the film.
