The original cut of Sim was my final programme production whilst working towards my Film Production BA at Northumbria University in 2011. The film was screened around the UK, in cinemas in Newcastle, Sheffield and London. It was a good production of my skills at the time but I feel there is a better film hidden within and I'm keen to draw it out! I've also had quite a slow year so far, so hurray for summer editing projects!
