The glamorous world of documentary filmmaking

A post shared by Louie Christie (@louie.christie) on

  • Gold Plaque winning documentary maker Vanessa Engle. Her documentaries are regularly viewed by millions worldwide. She started her illustrious career spending years on the BBC training scheme.

Coming soon-ish/maybe/never/if I can be arsed

Joy, Depression, And A Moment Of Fame: Rockumentary Movie (Working Title)

I might bring all this footage into a 90 minute feature length documentary movie. If I can be arsed. That’s a lot of editing. I kind of prefer making funny short 3 minute clips for the Internet.

Below should explain everything in crystal clarity...

A funny documentary that follows Nigel Thomas, nearly 40, a British musician, actor, and wannabe indie rock star as he releases his latest album in another ballsy attempt to become famous.
A funny documentary (90 mins) that follows Nigel Thomas, 40, a British musician, actor, and wannabe indie rock star as he releases his latest album in another ballsy attempt to become famous.

This was unexpected…

They were raised primarily on rap music, wait till you see their reaction to musician/actor/wannabe Nigel Thomas

Twin brothers Tim and Fred Williams (TwinsthenewTrend on YouTube) were looking for a banger of a tune. Unexpectedly they found Nigel Thomas’s ‘Stepping Up’. But did they like it?… (Yes)

Arguably a better reaction than their Phil Collins ‘In the Air Tonight’ 7 million viral hit reaction video.
