A big thank you to everyone who generously contributed their time and talent to help make a film of my World Cup poem 'That Time Again'.
Hugh Grant, Damian Lewis, Nathaniel Parker, Elizabeth Hurley and Tony Adams, along with many others, volunteered to lend their weight to a Home Movie shot over only two days with zero budget, a local producer, and people sending in their iPhone recordings, in the style of Lou Reed’s Perfect Day.
With zero budget and the help of a local producer, one small camera, and people sending in their iPhone recordings. From the famous to the not-so-famous -- from hairdressers and mechanics to gospel choirs and naked gardeners -- everyone involved was so sporting, entering into the spirit of the project.
The film and poem 'premiered' on the BBC at 12.45 pm today. I hope you will see more of it in the weeks to come
