Deborah Wise in Encounters The Movie. A Mike Leigh style film whereby there was no script and all scenes were improvised. The story begins at a speed dating evening where only a handful of people attend, and the organiser, played by David Kershaw, feels he has a failed evening on his hands. The actors only knew the ins and outs of their own characters and no one in the creative process, including the director, knew how each character's story would pan out. The result is a heartbreakingly warm and funny film and it won Best Feature Film at 3 Film Festivals - L.A. Cheapshot, Toronto ReelHeART Film Festival and Cornwall Film Festival. Available to buy on DVD from Amazon.com.
