Beautiful Quote by Shane Meadows
“In London, there must be thousands of people in the business of making films, whereas in Nottingham or Sheffield, you're probably talking about below a hundred. So there aren't thousands of people scrapping for the same money and for the same jobs.

Up here we are independent filmmakers and there's a lovely sense of camaraderie.”
