Where are you from?

The Swansea Bay Film Festival is currently in Swansea and whilst I was there the common questions were brought up, "Where are you from" or "Are you local?" With the film medium stretching to all areas of the world it means people have found out about Swansea’s involvement. Film makers had travelled from various places, e.g. Chicago, Austria, Denmark and local areas of Wales. They all have one thing in common – the hunger to make a movie.

At the festival there are small films called "Shorts". A short would only last for a few minutes. "Where are you from?" is going to be a short film about you. What you say could be anything? You might start out with, "I’m from Wales but I love talking about the buildings of Wales." How would YOU answer it? If you would like to spend five minutes talking about yourself then we’ll be meeting up at Monkey Bar in Swansea Wed 19^th May , Thur 20^th May or Fri 21^st May 2010 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M..

Monkey bar can be found at :-
