Last night at Chapter MovieMaker: sharing platter

The evening began with two short pieces from James Robson, charting his cinematic and personal development from his first film, cunningly entitled The First Film, to Self Defence, a more recent work. Coral Worth kept things up close and personal with her depiction of domestic Civil War, then lifted the mood with Aotearoa, which documented her journey across New Zealand's south island. The night ended with three strikes from the Subjective Realities team: dazzling vocal antics in Beatbox Fozzy Live; concentrated whimsy in While I'm Wishing, and finally celluloid mastery in Running Away.
