I am officially a geek. No two ways about it, no better way of putting it, a fully fledged, qualified and certified geek. And guess what, I’m proud of it. I still have my Atari 2600.

We’ve all had a Friday night where we’re too tired to go out. It’s understandable; Britain’s non-existent ‘spring’ has had us donning our parkas and ski shoes whenever we venture out to the corner shop, so the prospect of skittering about in a dress and heels outside Revolution is one that all right-minded women will happily avoid. Hence the Friday night tradition of ‘home cinema’ – inviting over a few friends, drawing the curtains, dragging [...]

However, this group of people are largely made up of your mum, dad, and the friends you bribed to play the main parts. Yes, home film-making can often be a tricky business, and made especially difficult when you don’t have the money or exposure to get it out there and start generating revenue. It’s a sad truth [...]
