BUFF Enterprises

BUFF Film Festival

Emanuel the founder and festival director had a vision to showcase new talent and create a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy shorts....

Included on the bill was Neil Reidman's Sh*t Happens. Jeff and I both worked on set for this production. Unfortunately it was shown the day I could not make it, but I hear it pulled quite a few a laughs (in all the right places) from the audience.


Admitedly there was the odd technical hitch and it would have been good to see more Shorts than were shown. I met alot of interesting people over the course of the evening I liked the second short, about gun crime.. uncomfortable with the effects, but addressing an uncomfortable subject I felt it really worked. "Merry go Round" (Pui Shaning) an easy viewing romcom was enjoyed and seemed to get the best overall rating and "Billy Blaze" (Jessie Grace MELLOR) hip hop musician from Newcastle Upon Tyne lightened it up further and made me laugh, I know it wasn't to everyone's taste but hey, he was a good kid! - Think of the David Brent dance mixed with a skinny white kid in a shellsuit with Phoebe from FRIENDS' musical talents and I think you might get Billy.. Surrounding the plug for BUFF it felt a tease for what was to come the following day. Perhaps that was the aim but unfortunately I couldn't make it. A great shame as it promised good viewing. Certainly our aim, to get a bunch of likeminded and interested people together was achieved. Just people meeting people. Actors, directors, producers, webdesigners, project managers, chatting, sharing enthusiasm, sparks of creativity.. what can I say, it's a beautiful thing and so yes the evening proved a success. We made some new contacts including a Director from one of the films and I believe everyone walked away with something...
