Paul Andrew Williams...an inspiration

I went to a talk the other night by Paul Andrew Williams, the director of 'London to Brighton' (for which he won the 'Best New Director' award at the 2008 Edinburgh Film Festival), as well as a few other successful British films.

I'm hardly a film buff, and had never even heard of him before, but his talk was fascinating.
Having not (yet) seen any of his work, it was his attitude and work ethos that inspired me. With no major investment or guarentees of success he carried on regardless, because he believed in himself and loved what he did. He overcame various obstacles and very rarely compromised his vision. Very inspiring indeed.
