/ Don't hate the media, become the media.
Jello Biafra

A couple of years ago me and my girlfriend came across a load of old photo slides in an old Bric-à-Brac shop in the south of England. We compiled our favourite ones and began to create a story out of them which we wanted to make a short film about.

​

Hey Jaime, thank you for talking to The New Current, how have you been holding up during these very strange times?

​

I'm keeping well, as everyone really just keep pottering on.

​

Has this time offered you any new creative inspiration or opportunities?

​

It defiantly did with this project, The idea came from being cooped up inside and wanting to create a story about people on holiday. I don't know if it helped or I just got jealous of people at the beach.

​

What does it mean to be screening Sometime, Somewhere at the 15th BFI Future Film Festival?

​

It's really great to have such a prestigious institution recognising young filmmakers and I am so grateful to be a part of that. I was not expecting the selection or the nomination and I feel like it has re sparked my drive to get into the industry.

​

Sometime, Somewhere is going to be in the In Someone Else’s Shoes Section of the festival, are there any nerves ahead of the festival?

​

I am slightly nervous about sitting in a screen with people all watching my film it will be the first time I see the reaction from people I don't know.

​

Can you tell me a little bit how Sometime, Somewhere came about, what was the inspiration behind your film?

​

I found some old film slides at a second hand shop in Brighton and I kept them with the idea of doing a project with them. When the lockdown came I made the film.

​

When working on a short film like this how close where you able to keep to your script once you started shooting, did you allow yourself much flexibility?

​

I recorded the audio and made a storyboard first. Everything wis quite restricted by that afterwards.
