Ken Loach's advice for directors

Director Ken Loach on why understanding history is so important in storytelling, his most important collaborators, learning the ropes as a young filmmaker and why editing’s a job for the winter!

It's sad that this video gets so little views. Ken Loach is brilliant.

Rational directors Make Eloquent films for minority (few of us) so don't except huge audiences then the film became commercial Work Like the others

A coffee (or a pint) and sitting with Ken Loach for hours chatting would be a grand day indeed.
