Great film and so nice to see Popeye Ron 7:04 who is sadly no longer with us. RIP Ron.

A wonderful poetic commentary. Echoes of Sir John Betjeman.

I love this mate, how did I not know you was tinkering with this ❤

I'm from stockton on tees but I do love a visit to the headland it has a charm all of its own 😊I remember my dad used to buy crates of fish from the quayside in the sixties and one day got into an argument over a box so he grabs this fella a d chucks him off the key shouting well you van have the box when you get out😂,Best fish and chips in the world can be had a Verrills 😊

love it.

Very good Sir and many thanks! Just wondering, are you still a citizen of St Leonards On Sea? Stranger On The Shore is superb by the way.

i went to school there in the late 60s took my first lsd there worked and lived there in the mid 70s for a year and then came back down in the early 80s and became a full on heroin addict the place has been host to some of the darkest moments of my life moved back to london in around 86 and in the 90s had a house in st leonards under offer but it did not go through. i still live in london . There is something about the curse of hastings that is very real i think

Hi Michael. I've only just found your exceptional (and moving) film. As a St Leonards resident I've never seen anything that captures the place so well. I'm in the Kino on Norman Rd most days. If you'd like to meet for a drink I'd love to introduce you to Russel and Olga who own and manage the cinema because this should really be up there on their screen. I think they'd be more than happy to screen it. With your permission - I'll send them the link? Congratulations on this wonderful piece. Stanley.

The curse is real. I left and I can't stop thinking about going back.

Not many outsiders know that television was invented in Hastings.

I lived in St Leonards had a shop in Bohemia Road in 1969, this film depresses me because the whole area has been a slum for years and it got worse in the last 30, l left UK and have been watching its decline from afar, its not the town its the people.

Excellent. Great vioce. Kim hi x

Beautiful movie of Hastings and amazing narration Thank you

Very, very lovely. Excellent little film and I enjoyed the John Cooper Clark style narration too. Loved the reference to sometimes looking like you're "living in a dream" Well done!

This is fabulous.

He’s gorgeous ❤️

Amazing work. Thank you.

Indeed. I went to Hastings in 1996-1997 on my English language academic year and then I lived in Bexhill with my first bf, and despite of me now living in Suffolk, I will always return to my first home of Hastings, at least 3 times a year. Can't wait to go back next week

Totally captures Hastings! Evocative and beautiful, thank you so much!

Great piece.

strong and special narrative

It's so soooo good ❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve only watched 30 seconds of this and I love it already - sterling work.

Brilliant summary. I share your feelings.

Incredibly powerful and poignant work. Thank you.

Truly wondrous!

Throw a hag stone into the sea , then you can leave .

I was looking for Jean Smith and found this. There is something about the light on the sea in Hastings. You captured it briefly in the view down the hill to the sparkling ocean. Once born by the ocean, you always come back, and stay as long as you can.

Excellent, Michael. Is your book finished yet? I need to read it.

Love your films. Absolutely loved your film on St. Leonards. I'm leaving London to move there in a few weeks and it struck a very resonant tone with me. Brilliant.

Yeah that is the difference.

Wonderful, thank you. You've captured its soul as we know and love it.

Please, whereabouts is that market lane please?

was that bill fellows narrating a small section?

Very well done I certainly enjoyed your words about the town I live in born in and we have had our problems but also a feeling of warmth I love this town when away it’s good to be back

This is incredible.

The video content is so excellent, congratulations

Absolutely BRILLIANT as per usual! Looking forward to your novel - see you in the MF x

Yesterday I heard a voice on the radio, or somewhere, which sounded like yours. It made me wondered what you were up to. And today a gift of a video. Wonderful.

This is a mesmerising watch. So good.

I miss Hastings, my first home. So home sick

This is great. The quality is amazing.

This is the best and most realistic portrayal of St Leonards that I have seen. Thank you.

Wow I love Whitby cos it’s so ...... xxx

That was good xxx

wonderful thankyou

Blown away, the words that were missing to articulate Crowley's curse have been discovered

What a great video! I love Hasting and St Leonards, i want to live there something keeps making me return back month after month until i finally live there :)

My town :) great watch

I live in Hastings originally from London. What a powerful video and yes the curse is set upon me.
