ABSTRACT
I first met the Director of The Optician, Jane McGee, when we were both teaching at the New York Film Academy in London, she teaching Direction and myself Advanced Cinematography. Our first outing together was on a practical exercise and we immediately hit it off. I liked her and her work so much I offered to shoot a short for her if she ever had a script. It took a couple of years but eventually she sent me The Optician, which she had written – I loved it immediately!
