Peter M. Kershaw started as an actor in theatre before discovering the fun to be had as a director with a camera. 'Cinema' is a contemporary little number, a comic fantasy, which was shot as a break from screenwriting and the development stage on a number of drama feature productions.

    Good stuff! You don't often see a bhangra dancing goth and it answers the eternal question, how do zombies reach those out-of-reach brains?

    Marvellous! A good mix of 'Goth meets Zombie' frolicking fun, an age-old classic.

    Totally impressed with all aspects of this film. Although it's horror it's also colourful and this perhaps deceieves the viewer. Directing and acting excellent! Really scary as the vampire walks by the lads in the store. Wanting to see more.

    Have no idea why this is so far up on the charts. No plot to speak of, a dance scene that added nothing to the narrative. . .and that was far too long. Dialog that was mediocre at best. Acting wise it wasn't too bad but what the hell was the point of the girl beginning and at the end?!

    Shot well enough and directed nicely, with a "Mall Rats" feel but really guys.



    What?

    That was really good! Really liked the three characters, and the bollywood bit was sooo bollywood. Seemed longer than two and a half minutes, but in a "wow, they managed to get all that into two minutes" way, rather than a "flip, will this ever end" way.

  • Cinema is a fantasy genre film about possible futures for Brit Film with an Asian influence, (Bhangra Indian dancing; the woman-in-white, a supernatural image of death from Far East cinema) as one character says, it’s about imagination. Not every filmmaker is going to like it or understand, or the character HING’s list of what we are making now would be more imaginative! So big thanks to you all from the makers for commenting and voting for imaginative filmmaking.

What do Zombie Movies and Bollywood have in common? Three film students argue the future for Brit films. The size of the screen doesn’t matter; it’s having the imagination to fill it!
