Curator’s clip description

Emerging film producers Jason Gooden and Julian Saggers are re-editing their feature film. The intertitle tells us that producers have removed most of the footage directed by the second director Dennis Whitburn and gone back to the footage directed by the first director, Glenn Fraser. Julian tells us that the film is ‘the biggest mistake I ever made in my life’. He adds ‘I never wanted to be a producer’.
