Mark Devenport

Mark Devenport began making shorts shot with an sVHS camera and edited on an analogue tape machine over 12 years ago. Following these early works, he has directed a number of shorts, been involved in many productions as an actor, and worked as a camera operator on the local BBC news. He co-wrote his feature film debut Big Things with lead actor Tony Claassen. The pair have co-starred in many films, including the 2004 feature One for the Road.

    Just about the worst film I have ever had the displeasure of politely sitting through. At the industry screening I attended, people either walked out after the first half hour or bravely stuck it out 'til the end, leaving the cinema looking devastated.

    Laugh-free script. Embarrassingly amateur actors. Most of all, it was just deeply depressing that this travesty received public funding.
