'Market' - the numbers and the perils of film-making



Many apologies for the silence since September. it has been a period of enforced absence due to a prolapsed disc injury in my neck, caused in no small part to finishing off Market, which almost finished me off. That got me thinking of the numbers associated with the making of the film (some exact, some approximate).

So as a bit of fun...
length of production: 4 years, 9 months
Rushes: 30 Hours
33 Filming days (including 2 x 3am starts)
11 months of editing
7 visits to Archive Libraries
89 Flasks of Coffee during the edit
445 cups of Tea
35 Sainsbury's Toffee Fudge Sundaes
2 Camera's
1 prolapsed disc (C7)

... and some very odd dreams caused by exhaustion. I hope i am on the mend, the next few weeks will tell. More screenings information to follow for November.
