When researching film festivals I kept coming across a man named Rob Brown. I was immediately drawn to his work because the poster for one of his short films "Silent Things" really grabbed my attention. Rob Brown is now becoming a very prestigious short film director, his work has been screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and been shown on the BBC, he's also won 'Best Newcomer' amongst many other things. I went on to watch the "Silent Things" and realised it is incredibly similar to the kind of thing I am to produce as a short.
I really like the way he looks deeper into the truth of humans and human relationships. He deals with stereotyping and prejudice, and does all this tactfully and tastefully. Interestingly after going on research more of his work, I found that I have actually come across him before. On an earlier blog post i've written about a short called "Paper Hearts" that I found on the BBC film network. It turns out that he has in fact directed that as well. I plan to keep a close eye and follow the work of Rob Brown as I think I could get a lot of inspiration from his work.
