I funded this film because I loved the idea when Jeanie pitched it at a workshop in Nottingham, and Jeanie herself struck me as a person who could get things done and create a story with style and emotion.
Jeanie’s remarks about her films falling into a ‘grey area’ which rather than campaigning, judging or educating deals with human characters in all their complexity really resonated with me. I think we need to see more docs like this and those are the kinds of films I want to keep making myself.
I’m ashamed to say I have never bought a record.
