He is currently finishing his first feature length documentary supported by BFI DocSociety & Arte. 4. The film had been shown at Visions Du Reel and Festival Tout Les Courts. Hopefully they can provide french subtitles. However, the film length has changed by a few seconds therefore the subtitles will need to be repositioned. 6. I will be arriving on the 31st into Lyon and leaving on the 7th. I was wondering if the cinematographer of the film could join? We can share rooms. 9. We will be completing a trailer for the film in Januar
