Pet Sounds vs. Sergeant Pepper

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my good friend and long-time collaborator, Tim Hunt, on the success of his most recent short film making endeavour.


In partnership with Adrian Pinsent, Tim has won the Brighton Festival 24 Hour Film Challenge.  The boys were set the task of making a 2 minute documentary about the Brighton Beach Boys, and in particular their one-off gig, which pitted two of the best ever albums against each other.  The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' vs. the Beatles' 'Sergeant Pepper'.

Its seems that their conclusion was that there can be no outright winner, but it is a great little film and well worth a watch.  And having been a part of 24 hour film challenges in the past, I know all too well how hard it is to produce such a professional looking piece, when at 3 am all you want to do is sleep!!!
