mdridley's photostream  

This is a photostream dedicated primarily to documenting the making of Prologue, my new independent 16mm film project.

I hope to record and share every aspect of the film-making process, from beginning to end, from pre-production through to post-production, both here and via the usual sites such as Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo. By making regular entries in an ongoing online journal, sharing behind-the-scenes photographs and posting HD video production diaries, I hope to create a detailed and informative account of the entire production as it progresses.

I started making independent films aged seventeen and have since worked on over forty productions in a variety of roles including director, screenwriter, producer, editor and director of photography.

I graduated from the Northern Film School at Leeds Metropolitan University with a Master's Degree in 2007. My work has screened at the Leeds International Film Festival, the FIPA (Festival International De Programs Audio Visuals) in Biarritz, the Paso Film Festival in Turkey, the Amirani International Student Film Festival in Tbilisi, Georgia, the Fresh Film Awards 2009 and as part of Student Short Films on Bloomington's Channel 16.

All photos were taken using a Chinon CE-5 SLR with an XR Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm F1.7 lens.
