James himself was in the same position as me not all that long ago in the sense that he went to CCAD to do creative film and moving Image production and he graduated 2 years ago now. During his time there he found the basis of a film crew, he now works closely with Adam Bouabda, who often produces James' films (including Ripper) although more recently he has been working with industry professionals on bigger projects. It is of note than James owns his own production company: Eighties Doubt, and is aiming to bring out a feature film entitled, please don't die. A concept that he put into a short film and is now looking to expand upon into a feature which he is looking to add some bug names in wrestling to the cast list (I believe to feature as themselves). This would represent the biggest leap in James' career and could put him well on the way to being a professional director, although James mainly has interest in making cult films which don't necessarily bring an awful lot of financial gain, although it isn't the money that motivates James so this will not be an issue I would imagine.
As of this moment I have sent James the question from my previous post and am awaiting his response, when this arrives I will put it into another blog post so as to show the next step in my research. On a personal level I think that James is someone I can model my path on as he is doing well at the minute and I believe he will make it quite far in the industry.
