"When I first heard about Dismaland my ears lit-up. The place looked set to be an amazing playground for moving image expression, I immediately wanted to film it. With a strong history of banging the refresh button, I managed to score some initial evening tickets for me and some friends. In typical fashion, it absolutely pissed it down. That's fine, I thought, cosy late summer nights is not what this is about. Water and cameras however are not a match made in heaven, but a seasoned outdoor filmmaker makes do with what he can and I got a couple of shots in the can, with my tripod I might add. More importantly, this opening season trip also gave me an opportunity to revel in the spectacular art on show, and reccy the site.
