Interface Diaries ran a successful pilot in the spring, and are back working with more young people this fall and winter for the second installment. The aim is to make Interface Diaries a long-term program that uses a fresh concept to create a lasting impact. You can see a small clip here.
In the spring, Will wrote and directed a short film, “2p,” that competed in a competition for Virgin Media UK and was sold to a distributor stateside. You can check it out here. He is currently working on another film, “Cowboys and Dissidents” with Northern Ireland Screen, which will go into production in November.
