Veteran film director Michael Grigsby has agreed to become the AFU’s Director-in-Residence and work with senior and former members of the AFU on an original film, with a view to helping those who have graduated from the AFU, or are nearing the end of their time in its ranks, to launch careers in the film industry. The new group, known as The Loose Limbed Collective, held its first meeting in London today, where Mike outlined his initial ideas for the film. It is hoped the film will be ready for screening in the Autumn of 2012. Mike himself is nearing the completion of his latest film, a feature-length documentary shot in Texas and aiming for cinema release in the new year.
