INTERVIEW: Broken Director Rufus Norris and Cast at the British Independent Film Awards 2012

The Moët British Independent Film Award for Best British Independent Film goes to... Broken! At the 15th year of celebrating all that is incredible in the world of British independent film-making, I was treated to the cavalcade of Broken cast and crew who were in visibly high spirits (one or two who also may have taken advantage of the copious amounts of champers being handed out by the evenings sponsors, quite rightly so) to discuss their win.

In front of me, just about, sat Broken Director Rufus Norris, Editor Victoria Boydell, Producers Nick Marston and Dixie Linder and actors Eloise Laurence, Robert Emms, Clare Burt and Bill Milner, squeezed in and ready to celebrate at the after-party about to commence.

This was Rufus' debut film, an impressive way to make an entrance on the film-making scene.

INTERVIEW: Rory Kinnear at the British Independent Film Awards 2012

At the British Independent Film Awards 2012 I grabbed five minutes with Best Supporting Actor award winner, Rory Kinnear. Son of comedy character actor Roy Kinnear of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, The Three Musketeers and George & Mildred fame (and brilliantly the voice of Bulk in 80s children's series Super Ted), it was a fantastic night to see him in such fine fettle carrying on the artistic Kinnear gene, albeit it for a role that on first experience, is anything but jocose.

In Broken, Rory plays Bob Oswald, a recently widowed father of three young girls, with a ticking time-bomb of an explosive temper. When ignited, the detrimental shock-wave effect on his neighbours within the unassuming cul-de-sac, fuses the families together to an altogether moving and warming story of pure heart.
