The Lone Filmmaker

Being in love with film and all things British, mostly earl grey tea, this site brings both of them together in one glorious swoop. Robert is a filmmaker in London who decided he wanted to be the first person to write, direct, produce, and star in his own film. Now I know this just sounds like Clooney but this is different because he is performing every other job entailed in filming. He's shooting, gripping, gaffing, and playing all the roles in the film. He's started a webisode documenting the whole process by which his girlfriend follows him around with a camera. I got addicted fairly quickly because he's funny, seems smart, and him and his girlfriend are a bit too adorable together. Needless to say he is either a marketing pioneer (this thing will be sponsored by every corporation in the world before it's over) or he's another lonelygirl15 poised to break my heart when I find out that it is all a setup by two bald fat men in Palo Alto. Either way, I'm crossing my fingers and rooting for him.

Check out all the webisodes HERE.
