The Last Bookshop film update....

Some regular readers of Tonbridge Blog may recall my mentioning that Mr. Books shop was used as a set for part of the independently produced short film, The Last Bookshop, which is a fictional, surreal and humorous, with-a-serious-edge, account of life when the internet has completely taken over and books have all but been forgotten about. It seems like an age since the film crew turned up at my humble little shop, which was one of a handful of bookshops they used in the making of the film last winter, and still the final version isn't out yet. I understand from the production company's blog that they would like to air The Last Bookshop on the internet (which in itself is a little ironic!) but they are embargoed from doing so because of the entry requirements of most film festivals. Personally I'm very much looking forward to seeing the film, not least because Mr. Books is actually featured so I wish they'd just get on with it and invite me to the premiere! It sounds like a worthwhile and innovative project and I wish the team great success with it. Have a look here at their blog if you want to find out more and to read some of their interesting thoughts about the book trade....
