Well it's been a long wait but it was great to finally see the film. And I didn't make too much of an arse of myself in the clips I was in either. Yay for me being slightly boring! Good to meet Franny as well, hello young sir. 
Favourite bits: seeing Nicky at home with his dog, genuinely sweet to see how much he loved Molly (RIP) and Nicky just being himself & not feeling the need to be acid-tongued Wire the Motormouth -although there's plenty of that too. Plus Sean at home on the (shooting) range, the famous James Cooks A Fry-Up scene, and James and Nick arguing the toss in the studio over the shit strings on Autumnsong.
I do have a couple of small criticisms, but as this is now the finished edit I'll just settle for saying it's not quite perfect - however it is hugely enjoyable.
Elizabeth's made the film she wanted to make regardless of whether it attracts a wider audience or not; after all the time and hard work spent, it's just good that the film's getting aired. Let's hope it does get a full release this year.
