Just a heads up to everyone attending FF this coming Saturday. I will be filming proceedings for a forthcoming documentary about the Star Wars phenomenon in the UK, what it meant to people as small AND big kids, how we relived the movies through our toy collections before the days of video and DVD, and about how it influenced how we are as adults now.
This is NOT going to be "Plastic Galaxy: The UK edition". Whilst we may touch on the story of Palitoy, this is not going to be an hour and a half of people showing off their prized items in their vintage collection. It's a film about the people and the effect these films and toys had on them.
I'll be there most, if not all of the day. Please feel free to come and have a chat on and off camera as all input is appreciated. If you'd prefer not to be included or seen, please let me know and I will avoid pointing the camera in your direction. There will be notices on entry informing you of this.
I look forward to seeing those I know and meeting those I don't, and I hope we all have a great time.
Thanks to Mr. Tree for allowing me to do this.
See you on Saturday.
Simon
