Filmmaker Statement

I wrote and directed Pint? because I yearned for a film that wasn't gritty and real but a film that would centre on the imagination of everyday people who watch too many movies. I didn't want their stories to be bogged down in reality. I wanted them to talk of events from their week and recreate them for their listener with Hollywood spectacle. Pint? was made to be a feature-length film full of action and plot twists. The short sets up the world of the pub as a place to tell stories, to talk to one another about important things hidden under the guise of far-away fantasies soaked in glorious action set pieces.
