Mid-Term Break

Back


Hello, My name is James Graham and I am a young film maker from Oxford. This is a film that is very close to my heart, mainly because after seeing Bella Tarr's film,Werckmeister Harmonies, I wanted to make a short film in one shot. I wrote the script directly for one shot and to be based on Seamus Heaney's poem Mid-Term Break. After writing the script I took on the role of Producer to find Location and actors and also I scripted the basic camera movement in the early stages before handing the later camera movement and direction to Daved Harrison.

I remember this clearly from my school days - the first time I felt moved by poetry. Sad but wonderful and this video does it justice
