About Cheap Urban Film Director Experience

Do you wander aimlessly around the city with a cheap camera in your hand pointing it in people's faces?
Do you think you should be able to make art-house films with no dialogue that are full of extraordinarily normal people that you wouldn't believe existed unless you'd just walked past them at the chip shop in the market?
Do you regularly get clocked by scary people at bus stops when you think you've got away with shooting their mad faces and then have to run into a book shop and pretend you're invisible?

If you know what we're talking about, we want to see the results and share you experiences. If you think your shots look like stills from a cheap urban film you've directed in your head, then let us see. Especially if the people in them look like they're about to lamp you.

Only a few rules:
Must contain people
Must be close up (no zooming in from a safe distance)
Not portraiture
It's urban - in the city
Try and think cinematic - but in a bit of a rubbish way
Must be real people you've never met - not staged with your mates after a few Stellas in a Weatherspoons

If you've no idea what we're talking about, you are probably eligible.
