Just my luck to be in the wrong country when something like this is going on! And this event may have arisen from a "selfish" impulse, but isn't that how a lot of great inventions start - fulfilling a need?

I'm interested by the surprise levels. I think that what you curated was practice-led. People telling their stories are showing their craft, their intent, their perception of what a story is. Stories aren't widgets. You can't anatomise their creation and present a how-to in 20 minutes (well you can, if you are Robert McKee, but it's a dangerous thing). My only thought for next year is that it should be more widely distributed - there was plenty for all kinds to get their teeth into. See no reason why you shouldn't get some support for it from UKFC / ACE *if you want*. Thanks for a hugely enjoyable day. I’m interested by the surprise levels.

From giggles to guffaws, lump-in-the-throat moments to neck-hairs-on-end moments and one moment of genuine tears (though, to be fair, this was because Russell hit me in the face with a flying cadbury's creme egg). Definitely got the cognitive cogs whirring and set some interesting thoughts in motion. Roll on next year!
