AN IT worker who moonlights as a film director is hoping his latest flick will earn its place at an international film festival.
James Webber of Oak Lane in Isleworth who is also a script writer, has just finished shooting his third short film "Dancer", with the help of up-and-coming young actors.
James, who turns 30 this weekend and who has wanted to create films since the age of 15, said: "We are hoping it will get accepted to the Canada International Film Festival. For everyone that worked on it, this is our calling card."
The online support worker has also produced over 20 music videos for "underground" artists as a way to keep his creative juices flowing while in between producing movies for his company Fingercuff Productions.
"Unfortunately you can't make much money from short films," said James, who studied film at Bournemouth Arts Institute. "I'm writing a feature film at at the moment and am going to start looking for funding next year."
"Dancer", which was filmed in the Isleworth and Kingston areas with a small amount in Redlees Park, is about a young man who commits a hit and run and tries to hide what he has done, it is a tale of "redemption, of good people doing bad things and, ultimately the price they have to pay."
